Barcelona hit the jackpot by security Robert Lewandowski‘s signature from Bayern Munich in 2022. After a brilliant Pichichi-winning debut season, many turned against the striker in the 2023/24 season when his numbers dropped significantly.
After managing only 19 League goals last season, the Polish marksman has reinvented himself under Hansi Flick and is already on 14 league goals in 13 matches. However, as age catches up with the No. 9, the Barcelona forward has started to think about retirement.
Recently, Lewandowski’s Poland was relegated to League B after finishing last in a group consisting of Portugal, Croatia, and Scotland. He played no part in the proceedings as the veteran is recovering from a back injury.
The striker recently revealed his thoughts about retirement and how he plans to go about the rest of his career. The 36-year-old’s contract with the Blaugrana runs until 2026 with an option to extend for another year, keeping him in action for two more years at least.
At my age now, in two three years, it will be done, it will be finished. I want to say, not anyone else, when the finish will be.

Ligue 1 striker reveals ‘dream’ to play for FC Barcelona
With Robert Lewandowski‘s contract running out in 2026, Barcelona have begun their search for a successor. Even though names like Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyokeres have been suggested as options, Barca’s delicate financial situation stands as an obstacle.
Meanwhile, Ligue 1 striker Jonathan David has presented himself as a viable option. The player’s contract is up at the end of the season and has also expressed his desire to play for the Blaugrana. While Bayern Munich and Juventus have also expressed their interest in signing him, Barcelona remains his ‘dream’.
Barcelona was the team I grew up supporting. When you grow up supporting a team, it’s your dream to play for them.
