Despite ongoing speculation about his future, Robert Lewandowski looks set to remain at Barcelona for at least another season. The veteran striker has been in prolific form, scoring 34 goals across all competitions in the 2024/25 campaign—his best tally since joining the club from Bayern Munich in 2022. With the potential to surpass the 40-goal mark, Lewandowski is proving that age is just a number.
However, with the Polish international turning 37 in August, questions have arisen over his long-term suitability under head coach Hansi Flick. Some reports have suggested that Barcelona may be looking to the future and considering a younger successor in the striker role. But Lewandowski’s agent, Pini Zahavi, has put an end to any exit rumours.
“Robert will stay at Barca next season, it’s 100% sure. He’s happy at the club. He has a contract there and he will respect it until the end,” Zahavi told 365 Scores.
This statement eliminates any immediate concerns over Lewandowski’s departure, but Barcelona must still prepare for life after their star forward. The club has been linked with a number of high-profile replacements, including Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres, and Erling Haaland—though all three would require significant financial investment.
A more cost-effective solution could be Benjamin Šeško, who has an active release clause in his RB Leipzig contract. Lille’s Jonathan David, set to be a free agent this summer, is another potential option should Barça look to secure a long-term successor without breaking the bank.
For now, Lewandowski remains Barcelona’s main man up front. His performances continue to justify his place in the team, and with his contract running until 2026, he seems determined to lead the Blaugrana attack for at least another season. But will Barcelona’s search for a successor gain momentum this summer? Only time will tell.
