He arrived as the top player for Barcelona but Xavi would no longer want him, the player they would sell for $45M

FC Barcelona is starting to plan on their squad ahead of next season, and some crucial players may not be safe to stay this summer if bids start arriving. Sport reports that Xavi has no problem selling Robert Lewandowski this summer and believes that he will not recover his best version. Xavi believes that Lewandowski's departure could help with other forward signings. The Polish striker's contract with FC Barcelona expires in the summer of 2026. Saudi Arabian clubs have shown interest in the past few months and are offering $100 million per year for the player, which is hard to refuse, but Lewandowski has other plans.

Lewandowski wants to stay at Barça and fulfill his contract. According to Sport, the striker is very comfortable both at the club and in the city. His contract will be automatically renewed for one more season if he plays a minimum of 45 mins in 55% of total games next season. This season, Lewandowski has played a total of 45 matches in all competitions, where he scored 24 goals and provided nine assists.

Lewandowski believes that physically, he is fine and can perform at a good level next season, being aware that he has done that well this season. In addition, he believes that with some changes and with the youngsters who are shining, Barça will be able to fight for the trophies again. Barcelona is already looking for attacking players for next season, and there is strong interest in Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams and RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo.

Lewandowski's salary at FC Barcelona

Sport reports that Barça could ask Lewandowski for a salary readjustment, but it will probably not be accepted by his agent, as they may consider that the player already made an effort in his first season at the club. The striker's reported salary for next season would be worth more than $30 million a year. Next week, Lewandowski and his agent will have a meeting with club president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco to discuss the salary and the contract. His future is still up in the air, and there is no guarantee that he will stay with the Blaugrana.
