Lewandowski’s Next Step Unclear as Agent Dismisses Retirement Rumors and Barcelona Target Kane

Barcelona are prioritising a younger centre-forward, with Harry Kane named in multiple reports as their preferred option.

Overview

  • Agent Pini Zahavi said reports that Robert Lewandowski is considering retirement are "not true" and added there has been no update on a renewal.
  • Lewandowski has said he will decide at season’s end based on how he feels, prefers to remain in Barcelona, is reluctant to move to Saudi Arabia, and would accept a reduced role.
  • Local reporting indicates Barcelona are unlikely to extend the 37-year-old and are lining up replacements, with The Guardian saying they could trigger Harry Kane’s £57m clause.
  • AC Milan have held exploratory talks with Lewandowski’s camp, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic backing the move, while a Fenerbahce inquiry for January has been reported as unlikely.
  • The striker remains under contract until June 2026 and is still delivering on the pitch, including a recent La Liga hat-trick that kept him as Barça’s leading scorer this season.
