Robert Lewandowski, the Polish striker who joined Barcelona last season, spoke Spanish for the first time after the match against Deportivo Alavés. Barcelona secured a 3-1 victory over Alavés in their La Liga match last Saturday, with Lewandowski scoring a goal after 543 minutes without finding the back of the net in the league.
According to the Spanish newspaper “AS,” Lewandowski speaking Spanish for the first time suggests that he plans to stay in the country even after retiring and is seriously considering the matter. The newspaper also reported that the club wants him to continue with the team.
In the past winter transfer window, there were reports indicating Barcelona’s desire to sell Lewandowski due to his high salary, but it seems that everything has changed. On the other hand, the Spanish newspaper “Sport” stated that the club wants the 35-year-old striker to stay, valuing his technical and physical abilities.
At the same time, the newspaper confirmed that the club would respect Lewandowski’s wishes at the end of the season, whether to stay or leave. Anna Lewandowska, the wife of the former Bayern Munich striker, praised life in Catalonia, expressing her desire to stay there for a long time and noting the distinct differences in daily life compared to Warsaw and Munich, emphasizing the enjoyment of life and the understanding that life is lived only once.
Currently, Barcelona holds the third position temporarily in the La Liga standings with 50 points, trailing Atletico Madrid by 3 points.
This news marks a significant development for Barcelona and its fans, as the future of Lewandowski at the club seems to be taking a different trajectory, contrary to previous reports of a potential departure. The newfound willingness of the player and the club to consider a continued partnership bodes well for Barcelona’s ambitions in the coming seasons.
