According to Mundo Deportivo, Lewandowski’s main priority is to remain at the club, even if it requires making personal sacrifices.

Lewandowski has offers abroad

While Lewandowski’s contract is entering its final months, and several clubs, including Chicago Fire and teams from Saudi Arabia, are reportedly interested, these opportunities have not swayed his commitment to Barcelona.

The recent visit of super-agent Pini Zahavi to Barcelona sparked rumours about contract talks, but reports confirm the trip was focused on supporting club president Joan Laporta following his election, rather than negotiating Lewandowski’s or Flick’s future.

Approaching 38 in August, Lewandowski recognises that his role will change over time. His willingness to adapt both financially and tactically underscores his appreciation for the club and the city.

From Barcelona’s perspective, Laporta has expressed a strong desire to retain the striker, though formal negotiations have yet to begin, as Barca Universal noted.
