Football International
Ex-Bayern star Robert Lewandowski only switched from Munich to FC Barcelona last summer. But the first season in the Spanish La Liga is not going as well as desired for Lewandowski – at least from the point of view of the Barca bosses.
Barca bosses want to think about Messi’s future
‘Lewy’ does not appear to be delivering the performances that were expected from the striker in Spain. Like the Spanish”AS“reported, the club should already be thinking about what the future of the 34-year-old should look like – although he actually has a contract with the Catalan club until 2026.

Although he regularly scores goals, he has scored 27 times for FC Barcelona. According to “AS”, the really big games, for example against Real Madrid, are viewed critically. In the last four games against Real, Lewandowski has only scored once. Even in games against his ex-club FC Bayern and Manchester United, for example, he could not convince enough.
Barca’s sporting leadership may now intend to reflect on Lewandowski’s real impact on the team. In addition, the Barca top wants to see how this can develop in the future.
Speculations on Messi return
Robert Lewandowski left the Bundesliga in 2022 to fill the gap at FC Barcelona left by Lionel Messi when he left for Paris in 2021. For Lewandowski, it may be aggravating that there is speculation about a possible return of Messi to LaLiga. The contract with PSG expires at the end of June.

While fans would probably welcome a return of Messi – after all, he also represents the club after 20 years in the Barca shirt – other players are said to be more critical of a comeback. As the “The National” reported, in addition to Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembélé and Marc-André ter Stegen, Robert Lewandowski should also be among them. The latter is said to fear, among other things, for his role as an offensive star.
