Barcelona veteran superstar’s future at club depends on Hansi Flick’s plans | OneFootball

In addition to Hansi Flick’s renewal, another of the matters that brought Pini Zahavi to Barcelona is clarifying the future of Robert Lewandowski.

The veteran superstar’s contract expires on June 30, and so far, there has been no clear indication of what his next move will be.

Lewandowski’s future dependent on Flick

Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, Lewandowski’s future at Barcelona depends on Flick and the role he has for the veteran forward in his plans for next season.

Indeed, the Barcelona manager must explain the role he has in mind for the Poland captain next season and, depending on that, the striker will decide whether or not to accept the one-year contract extension offered by Barça.

Zahavi arrived in Barcelona from Milan after collecting proposals from Juventus and AC Milan for the 37-year-old. Those offers are added to the ones he already had from Saudi Arabia, as well as from Chicago Fire in MLS.

Meanwhile, Barça president-elect Joan Laporta, as he explained during the election campaign, would like Lewandowski to remain at the club for one more year, despite the fact that he will turn 38 next summer.

Laporta is very grateful to the veteran forward for the sacrifice he made at the time for Barça, rejecting a higher offer from Bayern Munich and also accepting a huge challenge with a team that was still under construction.

Until now, Lewandowski had always shown his preference to continue at the club and in the city of Barcelona, where his family is also very happy.

However, the final decision on whether he remains at the club next season will depend on Flick’s opinion and on the role the manager has in mind for the Polish striker.

Once he knows the intentions of the German coach, Lewandowski will then assess all the offers currently on the table before making a final decision on whether to stay for one more year at Barça or move elsewhere.

In any case, the outcome regarding the striker’s future is expected very soon.
