Official: Barcelona star to leave at season’s end | OneFootball

Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has this weekend announced his imminent departure from Catalunya’s capital.

In a lengthy post across his social media platforms, the Pole confirmed that he will not sign an extension to his expiring contract terms.

Lewandowski’s message can be read in full below:

‘After four years full of challenges and hard work, it’s time to move on. I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships. I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days. Catalonia is my place on earth. Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years. A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career. Barça is back where it belongs. Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya.’

Whilst his Barcelona adventure is all set to come to an end, Lewandowski’s career as a player will continue into next season and potentially beyond.

The 37-year-old remains held in high regard across the world of football, and is not expected to be at all short on suitors upon becoming a free agent in the summer.

Across the season to date, despite his advancing years, ‘Lewa’ has racked up 18 goals and four assists in all competitions.
