The contractual situation of Robert Lewandowski at FC Barcelona has generated a real bombshell in the transfer market since the ‘Cadena SER’ has assured that the Polish forward’s contract includes a release clause that allows the Catalan club to terminate his contract at the end of the 24/25 season if he does not play at least 55% of the games.
This clause was agreed upon by both the club and the player when his signing was made official in the summer of 2022, and it is important to highlight that at the end of that season, Lewandowski would be 36 years old and have a salary of 16 million euros, with one year remaining. more than a contract, in which he would receive 13 million euros, this being a completely prohibitive salary for a player who, if he did not play 55% of the games, would not be useful for the Barça team.
It all depends on the player
This clause included in Lewandowski‘s contract introduces a certain flexibility as far as the future of the Polish player is concerned, allowing Barcelona to make decisions based on his performance and participation in the coming years, this being the factor that will determine whether the striker will be able to complete his contract at the Barça club, or if, on the contrary, he will leave a year earlier than expected.
