Robert Lewandowski has been in excellent form this season for Barcelona under Hansi Flick, with the Polish striker, now 37, demonstrating that he is still at the peak of his game.<\/p>\n
Lewandowski, who leads the team’s attack, has proven his commitment and dedication in every match, reinforcing both the German coach’s and fans’ belief in his ability to continue as a key player for the team.
\nIn light of his outstanding performances, Lewandowski has expressed great confidence in his physical condition and form, and has shown interest in extending his contract for another season, with the intention of staying at Barcelona until the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n
According to the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, this confidence is not only limited to his personal performance but also includes his position within the plans of sporting director Deco to strengthen the attack.
\nDeco has set his sights on Swedish striker Viktor Gy\u00f6keres as an option to bolster Barcelona\u2019s attack. Gy\u00f6keres is a well-rounded striker, known for his physical strength, penalty area skills, and ability to score, making him one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe.<\/p>\n
According to Deco, Gy\u00f6keres fits perfectly into Barcelona’s style of play and could be a strong long-term addition. However, this idea has raised concerns among those close to Lewandowski.
\nFor Lewandowski, who is accustomed to being the focal point of every team he has been a part of, the arrival of a striker like Gy\u00f6keres would pose a direct threat to his starting role.<\/p>\n
At this stage of his career, seeking stability and continuity at Barcelona, Lewandowski believes that the addition of another top-level striker could force coach Flick to rotate players in attack, which does not align with the veteran striker’s ambitions.
\nThe newspaper added that Lewandowski has clearly threatened to leave, telling the German coach that if Barcelona signs the Swedish striker, he will depart the Catalan club at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
This situation poses a significant challenge for Barcelona’s management, as they must assess the feasibility of investing a large sum in Gy\u00f6keres, knowing that it could strain their relationship with one of their most prominent players. The management is now faced with the difficult choice of whether to sign the Swedish striker or risk losing the Polish forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
