Barcelona are reportedly planning to extend Robert Lewandowski’s stay at the club, a move that could influence their pursuit of star forwards Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyökeres.

The 36-year-old Polish striker’s current contract is set to expire next summer, but according to Sport on Sunday, the club is likely to trigger a clause that will keep him at Barcelona for another year. Additionally, discussions about extending his contract until 2027 are also on the table.

Lewandowski has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 20 goals in 18 appearances, and his impressive performances have led Barcelona to reconsider their need for another striker in the near future.

The club had been linked with high-profile forwards, including Erling Haaland of Manchester City and Viktor Gyökeres of Sporting CP. However, due to their ongoing financial challenges, securing such signings in the short term remains a difficult task.
