The Polish striker's current contract expires next June, meaning this season could be his last in Blaugrana colours.
Despite being 37 years old, Lewandowski continues to display an exceptional level of goalscoring. He has scored four times in La Liga this season despite making just three saves (seven appearances in total). However, it is natural that his successor should be considered, given his age.
Recent comments from Deco suggested that Lewandowski could stay at the club until at least 2027, but according to Sport, it has already been decided that the veteran striker will not be offered a new contract, meaning he will leave when his current deal expires next June.
Lewandowski could leave Barcelona next summer.
His age, his decline in performance and his inability to press the opponent at the same pace as his teammates are the reasons given by the Barcelona leaders. This therefore means that a contract extension should not be offered to Lewandowski before the end of his current contract.
Who will join Barça to replace Lewandowski?
Ferran Torres would be the only striker option available to Hansi Flick in the event of Lewandowski's departure. Barcelona will therefore have to find a replacement. Julian Alvarez (Atlético Madrid) is of great interest to Barça, but according to some sources it is more likely that Karl Etta Eyong will be brought in, with the aim being to bring in a younger and competitive player.
It is logical that Barça favors Etta Eyong over Alvarez, because the club would probably not have the means to recruit the latter, whose cost would exceed 100 million euros.
