Lewandowski, 37, who has been playing at the highest level of European football for more than 15 years, is about to reach a crucial moment in his career and will need to make a big decision.
In an interview with The Athletic (h/t world sports news), Lewandowski insists he wants to take his time before making a final decision.
“I don’t know because I have to feel it. Right now, I can’t say what decision I would make because I’m not even 50 percent sure which way I want to go,” he explained.
Lewandowski admits that the experience he has gained throughout his career has allowed him to handle the situation more calmly than he did earlier in his career.

“With my age and experience, I don’t have to make a decision now. Maybe in three months I’ll have to do it, but even then there’s no pressure on me. I need to start feeling it so it will be easier when we talk about my future,” he added.

“For a club like Barcelona, stability and confidence in the long-term project are fundamental. I believe in continuity and in people who truly understand the values and identity of this club.” he said.
In the same interview, the striker reflected on what keeps him highly competitive at 37 years old. One key change he highlights is the radical lifestyle adjustment he made in his twenties.
Lewandowski explained that he eliminated gluten and lactose from his diet after discovering that certain foods were negatively affecting his physical performance.
“I thought I could eat whatever I wanted because I was skinny, but when I trained, I had no strength. I started to change, and in just a few weeks, the change was huge,” he said.
