Turkish heavyweights advance in talks for Barcelona veteran

The veteran star of the Catalan giants, whose contract situation has become a topic of significant discussion, finds himself at the center of fresh interest from the Turkish football market.

Among the premier clubs in Turkey, Fenerbahce has emerged as a serious contender eager to secure the Polish forward’s services in the upcoming transfer window.

The player in question is Robert Lewandowski, the prolific goal scorer whose tenure at Barcelona is reaching a critical juncture as he has not yet agreed to a contract extension with the club, as reported by AS.

Reports indicate that Fenerbahce has made proactive moves and opened official talks with the striker. Their initial offer includes a one-and-a-half-year contract, signaling a strong intent to bring the seasoned forward to Istanbul.

However, Lewandowski’s camp has set a higher bar, requesting a two-and-a-half-year deal to ensure greater long-term security as he approaches the twilight years of his career.

The negotiation process is complicated further by the Turkish club’s need to manage squad logistics effectively.

To accommodate the addition of Lewandowski, Fenerbahce may have to consider the departure of some existing players.

Meanwhile, Lewandowski continues to pull his weight at Barcelona, regularly featuring this season and finding the back of the net with impressive consistency.

His professionalism and goal-scoring prowess remain highly valued by the club and fans alike.

With a contract expiring in June 2026 and no renewal expected from Barcelona, Lewandowski’s future hangs in the balance.

The football community now eagerly watches to see if the Turkish side will increase their offer and whether Barcelona will accept letting go of one of their iconic veterans.

This imminent decision will likely shape the final chapter of Lewandowski’s illustrious spell at Camp Nou.
