Based on my personal point of view, Lewandowski will still be heavily relied on by Barcelona or Xavi. why, yeah because after all Barcelona still needs his services as a center forward in their squad. at least, before they get an ideal replacement in the front line. in other words, Lewa will remain the main option, especially if he doesn't experience any problems, especially those related to injury. Lewandowski's presence is very crucial, especially this season. not only how he has to score goals as his job as a pure striker, but precisely because his stability will be very helpful for Barcelona's young players, like Gavi or Pedri who are often given instructions by Lewandowski when setting strategies, even though he is no longer young, in fact he has entered the age of 35. however, if Xavi is able to maximize his patterns, systems and strategies, Barcelona should now be a competitive team. unfortunately, because they experienced a storm of injuries, Barcelona was unable to appear consistently in every match. plus, Barcelona's defense line has really experienced a decline in performance unlike last season. however, we agree that the age factor cannot be avoided by any great player and Lewandowski is no exception. however, at least Lewan is still very useful for Barcelona. now the problem is with Xavi, how he has to find an effective formula for his squad when playing match after match. as for rumors of Lewandowski's departure, I actually haven't heard any news. it could be, because currently I don't really follow developments regarding rumors or gossip. but as far as I know, Lewandowski once made a statement that he wanted to end his career at Barcelona. whether Lewa will leave for another club or league, we'll see what the results will be.

As long as Lewandowski is still in a Barcelona uniform, he is a player who can contribute to the team, a role model for young players, and an extension of Xavi instructions on the field. I think Xavi doesn't have much choice, paying attention to the club financial situation is another consideration at the moment, so maximizing Lewandowski performance is an option even though it is not satisfactory, I agree the reason for his decline in performance is the age factor.

On the other hand, speculation about Lewandowski future is still full of question marks, I think retiring at Barcelona is a wise choice. However, if management is moved to push him to the SPL or MLS to help a club in financial crisis, then that is also a kindness from Lewandowski. I think SPL is the right choice for Lewandowski future career if he doesn't want to retire yet, because everyone will benefit equally if they choose to move there.
