Robert Lewandowski has been clear and pretty matter-of-fact about his plans. There will be no midseason exit in January, and retirement is not on the table right now.
His agent, Pini Zahavi, has publicly called the January exit rumours false, and the striker himself, whose recent hat trick helped Barcelona fire past Celta Vigo , seems only interested in one thing for the next seven months, which is helping Barcelona chase silverware.
Talk of leaving midseason did not gain any traction, partly because Lewandowski keeps showing why Barca need him. As reported by SoftFootball , he played a cameo in the 3-3 Champions League draw with Club Brugge , and even in limited minutes he was instrumental.
