Winning one more cup in Europe and winning a golden boot in Europa League are not bad for Lewandowski before he ends his career.

Robert Lewandowski is 34 years now. IMO, he has at least 3-4 years of quality football left in him. So it is too early to talk about his retirement. Ronaldo is performing exceptionally at the age of 37. The same can be said about some of the other players such as Goran Pandeev and Luka Modrić. Nowadays, players are able to maintain optimal form well in to late 30s. Lewandowski has scored 13 goals from 14 La Liga matches for Barcelona so far in 2022. That shows the sort of form he is in. And during the previous year, he scored 35 goals from 34 appearances in Bundesliga. 2020 was even better, with 41 goals from 29 matches.

I feel like 4 years would be a little bit too much. At 34 years old, 4 years later he would be 38 and yes he could play "somewhere" but as we have seen even with Ronaldo, the guy with the most goals in history of football, when you get to that age it is not easy to continue playing. Ibrahimovic may have done it until he is 41, but he plays for Milan and he was never their "star" player anymore, plus Milan is not Barcelona, there is a difference.
I think Lewandowski can play until 38, but he can't play at Barcelona until 38, he could play 2 full seasons there, and then a third season where things will show that he is not enough anymore, and be gone before the fourth season.

I think you have a point there, From the look of things, Robert Lewandowsky can play even at age 38. But I'm of the opinion that even at that age, I think he can still perform in Barcelona but not as well as he does now. Currently, he has many goals but he's eager to score much more. and I think Barcelona understands his style of play very well. knowing well that it will take longer for a player at that age to switch teams and adapt to the new team's playing pattern, I believe Lewandowsky won't take such under advisement.
If Robert Lewandowsky could play for any team at age 38, I think FCB is one of that them.

Lewandowski, Messi or Ronaldo's fitness is still excellent. And I wouldn't be surprised if they play until 38/39. I agree with you that Lewandowski can easily play until 38. But I don't think he will be effective at 38 for Serie A or Premier League. If Lewandowski can maintain his fitness, he can stay with Barcelona for a long time. Barcelona are going back to their old tiki taka tactics. And so I think if Lewandowski's fitness is good, he can stay with Barcelona until he is 38 and continue his good performances.
