Barcelona sporting director Deco has insisted the club has not yet made a decision on Robert Lewandowski’s future as he warned fans against “obsessing” over a move for a superstar like Erling Haaland.
Lewandowski, who turned 37 in August, is in the final year of his contract and is clearly not a long-term option. Manchester City’s Haaland and former teammate Julián Alvarez, now of Atlético Madrid, have both been touted as expensive replacements for the Poland international.
The door to a short-term extension for Lewandowski, who has four goals in seven games this season, has not yet been closed, however. Deco confirmed to that talks will be held later in the campaign.
“We’re not going to talk about renewals in October,” he said. “We’re going step by step.
“[Lewandowski] is one of the best forwards of recent years, a top-level player. He’s helped us a lot. He’s scored more than 40 goals, but we’ll analyze that later. It’s time to talk about recovering injured players.”
