Overview
- Citing Monday reports relayed from BBC Sport journalist Guillem Balagué, multiple outlets say Robert Lewandowski is no longer in Barcelona’s plans.
- His deal runs to June 2026, but talks about an extension hinged on a steep salary reduction that the player has not accepted.
- Interest has been linked to Serie A, with Juventus and AC Milan mentioned, while Christian Vieri told DAZN he sees the striker fitting better at Milan.
- Barcelona are weighing replacements, with Mundo Deportivo reporting Julián Álvarez of Atlético de Madrid as the top target and El Imparcial noting a potential €100 million bid.
- Lewandowski’s output has dipped from a prior 42-goal season to 17 goals and 4 assists in 41 games, and Poland’s failure to reach the 2026 World Cup could narrow his next-market spotlight.
