For 'Lewy', his destination the next season does not generate doubts, although his agreement includes a clause of performance that conditions the last year of the bond signed in 2022 by four seasons, until June of 2026. In case of not contesting at least the 55 % of the official parties of the course, the Barça will be able to terminate the agreement to the term of the 2024/25.

Then it will have 37 years, age that seems to be too advanced for a footballer with a so high index card. The international Pole adds 57 goals and 17 assistances in 91 official apparitions with the club, a performance that does not leave to be very good for any forward, although it was far of the figures reached in his last polish in Germany.
