Robert Lewandowski has admitted he would consider a move to a “lower division” if he leaves Barcelona this summer. The Polish striker, who celebrated his second consecutive La Liga title with Barça on Sunday, has been linked with a transfer to MLS as his contract nears its end.
**The Door Opens to a Lower Division**
During the title celebrations following Barcelona’s win over Real Madrid, Lewandowski didn’t hide that his time at Camp Nou might be winding down. In an interview with Polish television channel Eleven Sports, the veteran forward confessed that the idea of moving to a less physically demanding league is a real possibility.
“There could be an option in a lower-level league. I’m almost 38, but I feel good physically, so I’m considering it. I have to take into account that it might be time to play and enjoy life. Perhaps this option comes up, and I’m not ruling it out,” Lewandowski explained, who has repeatedly been linked with teams like Chicago Fire in the United States.
**Contract Countdown**
There is uncertainty over whether Lewandowski will continue wearing the Barça shirt next season, with reports suggesting he has been offered a renewal with a salary reduction.
“What will I do in the fall? I don’t know. I just found out there are 51 days left on my contract, so I still have time. I’ll listen to a few more offers and then decide,” he said.
**Pride in a Successful Career**
Lewandowski, who started the Clásico on the bench, took the opportunity to reflect on the impressive collection of trophies he has accumulated over the years. For the former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich star, winning titles has become a habit that brings him great personal and professional satisfaction. “I have won a total of 14 league titles, with every club I’ve played for, which impresses me a lot and makes me proud,” Lewandowski highlighted.
**Lewandowski’s Response to Szczesny**
Finally, Lewandowski was unfazed by recent advice from his compatriot and Barcelona teammate, Wojciech Szczesny, who suggested he retire from professional football to consider other career options. Laughing, the Barça No. 9 made it clear that he still feels full of energy and that retirement is not in his immediate plans.
“You know how Wojtek is: one day he says one thing, another day something else. It’s not like I wake up in the morning with aches and pains. I value where I am and I enjoy it. Let’s see what happens, but what is clear is that I will continue playing,” the Polish striker concluded.
