Robert Lewandowski's time with FC Barcelona may be coming to an end, with his wife, Anna Lewandowska, suggesting that this season could be his last with the club. In a recent interview, she stated, "We'll see how the season goes in Barcelona this year because, let's say, it will probably be my husband's last one here," indicating a likely departure next summer.

Lewandowski's contract with Barcelona officially runs until June 30 of this year. While there was an automatic one-year extension triggered because he played a significant number of matches last season, Barcelona has seemingly decided not to offer a renewal beyond that date. This leaves the door open for the 37-year-old striker to negotiate with other clubs as he enters the final months of his contract. FIFA regulations permit players in the last six months of their contracts to explore other opportunities and potentially sign with new teams for the following season.

Several factors appear to be influencing Barcelona's decision. The club's sporting management is reviewing Lewandowski's situation, and extending his deal would likely require a significant reduction in salary and a more limited role within the team. With a gross salary of €26 million per year, Lewandowski is currently the highest-paid player in the squad. His departure would free up considerable financial resources for the club, allowing them to reduce their wage bill and invest in strengthening other positions. There are also concerns about his age, a perceived decline in performance, and his ability to press opponents with the same intensity as his teammates.

Despite the uncertainty, Lewandowski remains motivated to finish the season strong. He has ruled out any move during the January transfer window and has even hinted at accepting a reduced role if Barcelona signs a new striker. While he has expressed openness to various possibilities, he has not made a final decision regarding his future.

Potential destinations for Lewandowski include Major League Soccer in the United States and the Saudi Pro League, both of which have attracted numerous high-profile players in recent years. However, his wife's recent comments suggest that retirement is also a serious option if Barcelona does not offer him a contract renewal.

As Lewandowski's Barcelona career potentially nears its end, his wife emphasized that the family is cherishing every moment. "So we squeeze it like a lemon. We enjoy every moment, every match with the fans, because we know that one day we won't have any of this," she said.

Barcelona is already scouting potential replacements, with names like Julián Álvarez, Dusan Vlahović, Harry Kane, and Erling Haaland being considered. The club is expected to discuss the matter with Lewandowski in the coming weeks to reach a final decision.
