It looks like Lewandowski will remain Barcelona mainstay next season even though he is getting older, his experience is really needed by Barcelona, which currently relies more on young players. He can still be relied on on the front lines even though his goal productivity has dropped drastically this season, Barcelona will not let Lewandowski go before finding a suitable replacement to fill his position.
Allowing Lewandowski to go this season will be a big gamble to Barcelona despite his old age. Players like him are good to serve as leaders during match and Ronaldo guide upcoming young players on how they can be coordinated in the field during normal and intense matches. Lewandowski replacement should be found before he leaves and be allowed to play with him in the pitch in several matches in order to perfect the style of play of a striker. Real Madrid are doing the same and when the old player leaves, the younger ones don’t find it difficult to adapt again because of the experience they’ve accumulated from their predecessor. Lewandowski still has more to give to Barcelona, they should not even think of selling him for the next season to come also without having the best and most suitable replacement for him.
I also prefer Barcelona to keep Lewandowski until his contract expires. because actually Lewandowski also still has a contract remaining for the next 2 seasons, namely until 2026. And this player is really needed there. But there are indeed many rumors circulating about Barcelona being ready to let Lewandowski go. And this issue is actually nothing new. But last week I read the news that Lewandowski and the club would hold a meeting which means both parties are thinking about the best solution for both parties. Lewandowski himself still seems very comfortable at Barcelona. So it is very likely that this player will stay until next season. But I haven't heard the results of the meeting between the two parties. Well, let's hope the results are as we hope. because even though Barcelona does need a solution to stabilize their finances, this club also has to think about ensuring that Barcelona does not lose important players in the squad.
