Lewandowski: “Do I have a renewal offer yet? I don’t want to talk about my future”
“How are you and what future awaits us with Robert and Barcelona? Today Fabricio Romano has come out saying that ‘Robert has a renewal offer from Barcelona, but Italy is pressing’. What is going to happen to Robert next year?” Gerard Romero asked the Pole.
Every day something new comes out, but for us it is not important. The most important thing is what we want to do this season together
Robert Lewandowski replied that “we have time, the club knows everything I think. I need some time to think; it’s clear on both sides”, and stressed that “every day something new comes out in the press, but for us it is not important. The most important thing is what we want to do this season together”.
“If I have a renewal offer already? I don’t want to talk about my future. La Liga is the important thing. Then we can talk,” he insisted.
