According to Spanish media outlet Relevo, Polish striker Robert Lewandowski’s salary this season will reach €32 million. The contract states that if his appearance ratio does not reach 55% this season, Barcelona can unilaterally terminate the contract next summer.
Spanish media claim that this could be a pivotal season for Lewandowski at Barcelona. This will be his third season at the club, and also his highest-earning one.
Cadena SER revealed that Lewandowski earned €20 million before taxes in his first season at Barcelona, €26 million in the second, and will reach €32 million this season, before dropping back to €26 million in his final season (2025/2026).
However, his contract has a crucial addendum. If Lewandowski’s playing time in the 2024/2025 season falls short of 55% of Barcelona’s total match count, the club can unilaterally terminate the contract next summer.
This clause gives Barcelona a way out if the player’s performance falters. Last season, Barcelona was dissatisfied with Lewandowski’s performance, and the club will now be closely monitoring his displays. Although this clause appears unlikely to be triggered, the situation is reminiscent of similar cases, like Antoine Griezmann at Atlético Madrid, where Diego Simeone tightly controlled the French player’s appearances.
