Lewandowski, early end with Barça?

Could there be a problem with Robert Lewandowski on the FC Barcelona side? Several reports from the Spanish press cast some doubt on the subject. Not necessarily efficient relationships with its partners on the ground, but also (and perhaps above all) a salary which is starting to impact the general finances of a Catalan club already forced to walk on eggshells for several seasons in this sector. So many parameters which could precipitate the departure of the thirty-five-year-old Pole.

This possibility was addressed on Saturday by Sport. The Spanish media also recalled some important details of the contract signed by Robert Lewandowski upon his arrival at Barça. A four-year lease, with a significant and constant salary increase during the first three years, and a reduction in the fourth. While the center forward received 20 million euros gross last season, he will recover 26 million for the current season, then 32 million euros for the next, and will drop to 26 million during his fourth and final year .

Always effective scorer

The media then explained that a clause was added when the contract was signed. This allows FC Barcelona to end Robert Lewandowski’s lease during his third year, on the condition that he does not play 55% of his team’s matches, as a starter or with a minimum of forty-five minutes. played in a match. The international will therefore have to continue to score goal after goal to convince Joan Laporta and the Catalan management to keep him until 2026.

However, Robert Lewandowski’s current performance remains very profitable for his team. In sixteen matches played since the start of the season, the goleador has already scored eight goals and offered four assists, in all competitions. Suffice to say that for the moment, there is no question of parting with it. In a year, it will undoubtedly have to maintain the same standards to convince its managers to keep it. But this is another story.
