Lewandowski’s departure from Barcelona at the end of this season seemed almost a reality, but the player himself has yet to confirm or deny it, despite his wife admitting in January that it would probably be his “last season at Barça.”
The Polish striker was less candid than his partner in an interview with The Athletic, saying: “I don’t know. I have to feel it. At the moment I don’t even know 50% of what direction I want to go, so I can’t say anything about what I will decide.”
Maybe I’ll have to do it in three months, but I’m not stressed. I have to start feeling it.
“Given my age and experience, I don’t have to make a decision now. There will probably be a time in three months when I have to do it, but I still don’t feel stressed. I have to start feeling it so that it will be easier when we talk about my future,” said the Barcelona player.
Whatever decision he makes, Lewandowski has taken a lot of positives from his time at the Blaugrana. “Being at Barcelona these last few years has allowed me to see how much dedication and effort goes behind the scenes to keep the club alive. There is great ambition and faith in the future,” the player said in an interview.
I believe in continuity and people who really understand the values and identity of this club.
The striker, who at the age of 37 has scored 115 goals in a Barcelona shirt, understands himself perfectly: “I used to think that because I was skinny I could eat whatever I wanted, but even when I trained I couldn’t get stronger. I started to change, and in a few weeks the difference was huge.”
Levy has come hand in hand with Laporta and will not hesitate to join him in the ongoing presidential election. “For a club like Barcelona, stability and confidence in a long-term project are fundamental. I believe in continuity and in people who truly understand the values and identity of this club.”
