Robert Lewandowski has been clear and pretty matter-of-fact about his plans. There will be no midseason exit in January, and retirement is not on the table right now.
His agent, Pini Zahavi, has publicly called the January exit rumours false, and the striker himself, whose recent hat trick helped Barcelona fire past Celta Vigo, seems only interested in one thing for the next seven months, which is helping Barcelona chase silverware.
Talk of leaving midseason did not gain any traction, partly because Lewandowski keeps showing why Barca need him. As reported by SoftFootball, he played a cameo in the 3-3 Champions League draw with Club Brugge, and even in limited minutes he was instrumental.
Zahavi and respected reporters have reiterated the same message, which is that Lewandowski is settled in Catalonia and focused on the season ahead.
That said, everyone knows contracts have limits. His deal runs until June 2026, and right now extension talks are quiet. It is realistic to expect changes after the season ends.
Club people are already eyeing possible successors while Lewandowski considers his options. He has not promised anything beyond June 2026, and that uncertainty is normal. Still, this is not drama. It is just football and timing.
Fabrizio Romano shared a post on his official X account, confirming Lewandowski’s stay at Barcelona until June 2026, focused on titles, with the future undecided.
Check the post below:
On the pitch he remains effective. The Balaídos night where he scored three times reminded everyone he can still do the heavy lifting when called upon. He is leading the roaring charge in the league goals chart for Barca this season, and that matters.
His choice to skip Poland’s June camp to rest showed he is thinking long term, prioritising fitness for Barcelona over short-term call-ups.
Fans will always spin scenarios. Agents will always be quoted. But for now the truth is simple and rather tidy. Lewandowski wants trophies with Barcelona between now and the end of the season.
What comes after June 2026 can wait until it must be decided. Meanwhile, the striker will keep doing the job he does best: scoring, leading by example, and staying professional.
