At the age of 35, Robert Lewandowski stands out as one of Barcelona’s top goal scorers and highest earners for the current season, earning around €360,577 per week. This substantial salary could be a compelling reason for Barcelona to consider selling the Polish striker, aiming to raise funds for incoming players.
Despite Lewandowski’s excellent performance for Barcelona, contributing 9 goals and 4 assists this season across all competitions, rumors persist that the club may contemplate parting ways with the player to create space for the potential acquisition of Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes.
Robert Lewandowski’s agent clarifies his future plans
Despite Robert Lewandowski’s stellar performance for Barcelona, rumors persist that the club is plotting to trade him with the aim of acquiring Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes. Contrary to recent speculation, Pini Zahavi, the agent representing Lewy, has refuted the rumors, asserting that the footballer’s destiny is with Barcelona. He said, “Lewy’s future? He’s staying at Barcelona, of course.”.
Robert Lewandowski made a transfer from Bayern Munich to Barcelona, finalizing a three-year contract with the club on June 2022,. With just a year left on his Bayern Munich contract and the decision not to renew, Barcelona secured the striker for a reported £42.5 million (€50 million). The agreement included a three-year contract with an option for an additional 12 months.
Robert Lewandowski is famous for his incredible goal-scoring ability. Since his transfer to Barcelona, the Polish football professional has put up an impressive stat for the club, scoring 31 goals and registering 10 assists in 49 La Liga appearances for the club.
In Europe, he has played 10 matches for Barcelona in the Champions League, where he has also registered 6 goals and 1 assist in total. He also participated in last year’s Europa League, scoring 1 goal in 2 matches for Barcelona.

Barcelona rumored to sell Robert Lewandowski to acquire Bruno Guimaraes
Barcelona is purportedly considering the possibility of selling Robert Lewandowski as part of their strategy to generate funds for the acquisition of Newcastle United’s standout player, Bruno Guimaraes.
Several reports suggest that Barcelona might consider allowing Lewandowski to leave in order to facilitate a potential move for Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian midfielder has been a longstanding target for the Catalan club and has proven to be a significant asset for Eddie Howe’s side at Newcastle United.
Guimaraes has recorded an impressive tally of 11 goals and eight assists in 80 games across various competitions since his arrival at St James’ Park in January 2022. He has been a consistent presence for the Magpies since joining the club.
Despite Barcelona’s interest in the 26-year-old, their financial constraints have hindered any potential move. The club is currently in a position where they must attempt to offload several of their highest earners at Camp Nou to address their financial situation. Hence, why they may part ways with Robert Lewandowski, but the news is far from confirmed yet.
