Barcelona hand Robert Lewandowski responsibility for his own future

A fresh insight into Robert Lewandowski’s precarious situation at La Liga giants Barcelona has come to the fore on Tuesday.

The subject of hitman Lewandowski’s future has of course long represented a headline talking point in Catalunya’s capital.

This comes amid what has proven a largely underwhelming campaign all told on the part of the Polish international.

Singled out for regular criticism on the part of the Barcelona faithful for not only his goalscoring efforts, but all-round contribution to Xavi’s side, it has in turn come as little surprise to see ‘Lewa’ tipped for an exit.

A whole host of clubs from the Saudi Pro League are understood to be keeping a close eye on the situation, with a view to a summer offer for his signature.

So, amid such widespread chatter, where do the powers that be at Barcelona stand when it comes to the future of their aging attacker?

Well, as alluded to above, an insight into precisely that has today been provided.

The info comes courtesy of Diario Sport, who point towards Lewandowski as having been handed the keys to his own future.

The former Bayern Munich standout is still held in high regard by all at Barcelona, from boardroom to coaching staff.

As a result, he is being depended upon with a view to next season.

However, significantly, it is added that the Blaugrana also have no intention of standing in his way, should Lewandowski be the recipient of a big-money proposal from abroad.

Joan Laporta and co. intend to respect the wishes of the Pole, who has ‘earned the right to decide his own career’.
