Robert Lewandowski responds to talk he’s set to agree new contract at Barcelona

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has moved to dampen mounting speculation that he is on the verge of extending his stay at Camp Nou beyond this season. Speaking to reporters while on international duty with Poland, the 37-year-old emphasised that his long-term future remains undecided.

Club president Joan Laporta declared last week that he wants the veteran forward to remain for at least another year, comments that triggered widespread reports of an imminent contract agreement. Lewandowski, however, insists the situation is far from settled.

“As far as my future is concerned, nothing has changed,” he told the press conference. “I’m taking my time to decide what’s best for me. No decisions have been made on my part yet.”

Sources close to the negotiations suggest that any extension would require the striker to accept a significant reduction in wages and potentially accept a reduced role, coming off the bench more frequently than he has become accustomed to. Despite these conditions, the Lewandowski family is said to be content living in Barcelona, a factor that could weigh in the club’s favour.

Nevertheless, the prolific No. 9 is understood to have received multiple approaches from clubs around the world ahead of next season, leaving the door open for a move away from Catalonia should terms with Barcelona fail to materialise.

Barcelona officials remain hopeful of reaching an agreement, but with the player yet to commit, the saga looks set to run for several more weeks.
