Deco confirmed that the club is actively looking for reinforcements, though he declined to address rumors regarding specific targets like Julian Alvarez or Joao Pedro. He emphasized that while the club is keeping its options open, no contracts have been signed with any new players yet.
For the Catalan side, the impending exit of the 37-year-old marks the end of a highly productive era. In 192 appearances for the club, Lewandowski recorded 119 goals and 24 assists, contributing to multiple domestic titles including La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.
