According to multiple reports verified as of May 22, 2026, FC Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski will not extend his contract with the club, which expires at the end of the 2025-26 season. The Polish forward, who joined Barcelona from Bayern Munich in July 2022, has scored over 30 goals in each of his first three seasons at the Camp Nou.
Club sources indicate that the decision is mutual, with both parties agreeing that a change is best for the team's long-term rebuilding plan. Lewandowski, now 37, has been linked with a return to the Bundesliga or a move to Major League Soccer in the United States.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta confirmed in a press conference on May 20 that the club is already working on a transition plan for the striker position, with several young talents being scouted for the summer transfer window. Lewandowski's departure will free up significant wage budget space.
