Overview

• Spanish outlet Sport, cited by O Globo and Terra, reports Barcelona have decided internally not to extend the 37-year-old forward's deal.
• The reported decision is attributed to a decline in Lewandowski's performances compared with the rest of the squad.
• Directors have begun steps to find a successor in the next window, prioritizing a young center-forward alongside a right-back.
• Example profiles include Levante's Etta Eyong, while established options such as Julián Álvarez are viewed as unlikely at this stage.
• Lewandowski is considering retirement or one to two more seasons, prefers to keep his family in Catalonia, and is not expected to accept offers from Arab clubs.
