If he is going to maintain this level then hell yeah he should be kept at the team! Grin

31 goals in 33 games so far in the season. It is just spectacular performance at the age of 36 you know.

Hansi Flick has made a huge impact on him I believe. He was away from this effort last season. I was also questioning whether he should stay anymore. But there is no question mark left at all now.

I wonder if his salary was reduced, I think so. After all, his age is very serious. On the other hand, Barcelona has no choice because if Lewandowski leaves, Barcelona will only be able to sign a free agent (who will still have to pay a signing bonus) and there has long been a shortage of such among top strikers.
Lewandowski has good statistics, but last season he led the team in missed scoring chances, I don’t think there have been any radical changes this season.

The current age of Lewandowski isn't affecting his performance at all, because he is still a goal machine scoring many goals as usual. He is the highest goal scorer currently with a total of 19 goals. Mbappe is three goals behind him and if Lewandowski is not a prey to injury before the season runs out, he might be the highest goal scorer. Lewandowski was not on his peak form last season.

Lewandowski has been a regular performer for Barcelona this season. Consistent performances in La Liga or Champions League or other tournaments as well as contributing well to almost every victory. The star is quite old but his performance doesn't make him look like an old footballer. Maybe as long as he can perform well in the future, Barcelona will keep the contract with him, but when his performance deteriorates, Barcelona may not extend the contract with him. If he doesn't perform well at this age and Barcelona don't extend his contract, his next destination might be the Saudi League. Because the clubs of the Saudi League cannot sign young footballers for high prices, but they have taken many star players at the end of their careers in their league for high prices, maybe the same will happen with Lewandowski.

Lewandowski's Barcelona career is going very well this year. He has already scored many goals. Also, Mbappé, who was transferred to Real Madrid as the best player in the world but could not meet the expectations, is behind Lewandowski in the top scorer list. Despite his age, Lewandowski managed to score many goals. This shows that he is an important player for Barcelona. At the end of the year, Barcelona's decision will determine the player's future. If they want to send him off the team, maybe a Saudi team will offer him an astronomical contract.
