Deco Reveals Future Plans for De Jong and Lewandowski at Barcelona

Barcelona‘s sporting director Deco has provided updates on the contract status of Frenkie de Jong and Robert Lewandowski. In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, he talked about the ongoing discussions regarding the Dutch midfielder.

“We are in talks, and I am confident we will find a solution. Frenkie is a key player for Barcelona. I believe he is happy here, and we have no reason to doubt his future.”

In contrast, the situation with Robert Lewandowski is different. The club has the option to extend the Polish striker’s contract until the 2026/27 season, but they are taking a careful approach. The 37-year-old forward missed the start of the season due to injuries, and despite his strong scoring record, management is not rushing into a long-term deal.

“Robert is very important to us, but at this stage, he evaluates each season individually. That’s only natural for a player of his age. We’ll see how he feels and performs this year, and then we’ll make a decision,” Deco stated.
