Power Play at Camp Nou: Will Flick Lock Lewandowski's Barcelona Future?
23 December 2025
Flick's plan for Lewandowski
A Spanish press report today outlines the latest on Robert Lewandowski’s future at Barcelona as the summer transfer window approaches.
Lewandowski’s contract at Camp Nou ends at the end of the current season, with Barça yet to clarify his future.
Outlook
Barcelona had extended Lewandowski’s contract for another season last year after he shone brightly under Hans Flick.
This season, however, Lewandowksi has seen a notable dip, while Ferran Torres has shone, impacting the Pole’s role.
According to Sport, Flick is set to hold a meeting with Lewandowski in January to discuss his plans for the coming season.
Flick shares a strong relationship with Lewandowski, dating back to their Bayern Munich days.
The report notes Flick will decide Lewandowski’s future at Barça; if he believes the striker can still add value, a renewal could happen.
If Lewandowski renews, it would be on terms that reduce his on-field role and lower his salary.
The report notes he might accept such terms given his settled status in Catalonia.
Lewandowski has eight goals and two assists in 18 appearances this season for Barcelona, but started 10 of Barcelona’s 25 matches in all competitions and missed four games through injury.
Earlier reports suggested Lewandowski is Milan’s target for next season after his Barça contract ends.
Outlook
Barcelona will decide Lewandowski's fate in the coming weeks, while Milan and others watch closely as the saga unfolds ahead.
Punchline 1: Negotiations? Lewandowski signs with a smile and a receipt.
Punchline 2: If Barca hardens the terms, they might rename the stadium Lewanda-roski.
