“I’m not afraid to end my career because I’m starting to prepare for it, to plan things I’ll be able to do after football,” said the player. “I know football is a very important part of my life, but football is not my whole life, especially now,” he added.

Despite reflecting on his future, Lewandowski is not thinking about stopping in the short term. The number 9 has not set a date to hang up his boots and remains focused on his career. His contract with Barcelona is valid until June 30, with an option to renew for one more season.

“When I was young, I didn’t think about it because all I had in my head was football, football, and football. Now I know I’m very close to finishing my career, I don’t know if it will be in one, two, three, or maybe four years. I’m not under any pressure. If one day I listen to my body and feel that something has changed, I’ll be ready to end my career,” said the number 9.
