Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski recently addressed speculation about his future at the club amid rumors of a potential summer move.
Despite the gossip, Lewandowski, contracted with Barcelona until 2026, reaffirmed his commitment to staying and fulfilling his contract.
This season has been particularly tough for Barcelona, with the team trailing Real Madrid by 12 points with one La Liga game left.
The pressure on manager Xavi has increased, highlighting underperformance among key players. Lewandowski, who won the Pichichi Trophy last season, has scored 18 goals in 34 league matches this season, below his usual standards.
Despite the club’s financial issues and Lewandowski’s high salary fueling departure rumors, he clarified his intentions in an interview with Mundo Deportivo. He expressed his dedication to winning more titles with Barcelona, saying:
“For me, it is super clear. I want to win many titles with Barcelona, and I am sure that next season we will be even stronger and win titles.
I always want the best for my teammates and myself. This is a club close to my heart, and I want to give a lot for the team and the club.”
Lewandowski joined Barcelona from Bayern Munich in 2022, leading them to a La Liga title in his first season and scoring 58 goals in 94 appearances.
He also discussed the impact of Gavi’s absence due to an ACL injury. In an interview with Marca, Lewandowski emphasized Gavi’s importance, noting his talent and aggressiveness:
“From the beginning, we knew we would miss him. He lifts the team with his movements and aggressiveness. A squad needs players like him.
We don’t have him now, but we can wait for his return. He is a special player with talent and aggressiveness.”
Gavi is expected to recover in time for the pre-season but will miss Euro 2024 with Spain. Both he and Barcelona hope for a strong return next season.
Lewandowski’s statements highlight his optimism and belief in the team’s potential, emphasizing his desire to contribute to Barcelona’s future success.
