Overview
- Multiple outlets report Milan have opened talks with agent Pini Zahavi, with sporting director Igli Tare involved and a medium-term offer prepared if a free transfer is possible this summer.
- Reporting differs on when Lewandowski’s Barcelona contract ends, with some outlets saying at the end of this season and others listing June 2026.
- A new biography by Sebastian Staszewski claims Barcelona asked Lewandowski not to score in the final two La Liga matches of 2022–23 to avoid a €2.5 million add-on to Bayern Munich.
- The book’s account notes he remained on 23 league goals and failed to score against Mallorca and Celta Vigo, which would have kept the reported bonus from triggering.
- Coverage indicates Barcelona’s financial constraints and succession planning weigh on any renewal decision, while Lewandowski is in no hurry to decide his future.
