Robert Lewandowski has held 'positive talks' with his next team

The future of Robert Lewandowski is one of the issues that generates the most debate right now in Barça's environment. The Polish striker wants to stay for one more season and is willing to take a pay cut to make it easier for him to continue. However, from the offices of the Catalan club the feeling is that his sporting cycle is coming to an end.

Deco and Joan Laporta consider that the right time has come to part ways with Robert Lewandowski this summer. The striker's contract ends at the conclusion of the current season and there is no real intention to renew it internally for now. Only a serious and unexpected injury to Ferran Torres in the coming months could alter this planned strategy.

Barça prepares a reconstruction without Robert Lewandowski

Barça's roadmap involves starting a clear reconstruction of the front line. The sporting management is looking for a younger "9", of the highest quality, who will be able to make a difference for several seasons. In this context, Robert Lewandowski's continuity doesn't fit into the club's sporting planning, so the Pole will have to start looking for a new destination to keep playing.

Despite being 37 years old, Robert Lewandowski wants to keep competing at the highest level for one more full season. He knows that he will not have space at Barça and he accepts that he must look for a new challenge to close his brilliant spell at Camp Nou. His personal goal is to put the finishing touch on a career full of goals and major titles.

Robert Lewandowski has had "positive conversations" with an MLS team

In recent weeks, Saudi Arabia and MLS have emerged as likely destinations for Robert Lewandowski. Saudi economic power is tempting, but the American sporting project seems to fit his current personal priorities better. In addition, MLS offers him less physical demand and greater media prominence in the final stretch of his professional career.

In addition, according to leaks, Robert Lewandowski has already had positive conversations with Chicago Fire FC recently. The American club wants to have one of the best strikers of the last decade in order to compete with MLS's major franchises. Although they will only be able to negotiate formally starting in January, the reality is that the first contacts have already taken place, according to several media outlets.

Now it only remains to see how negotiations between all the parties involved progress. Robert Lewandowski has already informed Barça of his desire to stay: he is willing to take a pay cut to achieve it. However, he is also in talks with Chicago Fire FC in case his continuity at Camp Nou falls through.
