Lewandowski Ready to Take Pay Cut to Stay at Barcelona

Reports say he prioritizes family stability over richer bids abroad.

Overview

  • Mundo Deportivo reports the striker wants to continue at Barcelona on reduced wages and with a smaller on-field role under Hansi Flick.
  • Polish journalist Mateusz Borek says Turkish clubs could offer roughly €40–50 million net over two years, including about €10 million as a signing bonus.
  • Interest from MLS, notably the Chicago Fire, and from Saudi Pro League clubs remains active, according to the same reporting.
  • Barcelona president Joan Laporta has publicly expressed a desire to keep Lewandowski for another year, though no agreement is in place.
  • Recent sightings of agent Pini Zahavi in Barcelona were reported as unrelated to contract talks and linked instead to supporting Laporta after his election win.
