Athlete’s Career End: Counting Down?

Robert Lewandowski admitted in the “High Performance” podcast on YouTube that he is already planning life after football. The FC Barcelona and Polish national team player assured that he does not feel pressure and will base his decision on signals from his own body.

The experienced striker emphasized that he accepts the prospect of ending his professional career and is consciously preparing for it. However, the 37-year-old did not reveal what he plans to do.

“I’m starting to prepare for the things I can do after my football career ends,” he said. – Football is important, but it is no longer my whole life, especially now – he added.

According to Lewandowski’s words, he will retire from sports no later than 2030. At the moment, the squad member is convinced that he can still give a lot to the team from the capital of Catalonia.

– I know I’m close to retiring. I don’t know – a year, two, three, maybe four – but I don’t feel pressure. If I feel that my body is sending a different signal, I will be ready to finish, Lewandowski said.

Fans are also waiting for his decision about the club’s future. It is not known whether the Pole will stay in Barcelona or change the league or even the continent. He has a contract with his current employer until the end of June this year.
