• the Barcelona striker is 35 and recently spoke about his retirement plans
• The Polish legend has played over 700 games and scored over 500 goals in his career

Robert Lewandowski recently hinted at when he could retire from football.

The Polish striker joined Barça in the summer 2022 transfer window following an eight-year stint with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. He bagged 344 goals in 375 appearances in all competitions for the German giants.

He helped Xavi Hernandez's side win their first La Liga title since 2019 last season.

He bagged 33 goals in all competitions last season but has started slowly this campaign, scoring just eight goals in 17 appearances.

It is important to note that Lewandowski is 35, and it is still incredible that he's still playing at the highest level in one of the best clubs.

Lewandowski's retirement plans

In an interview with Club del Deportista via Forbes, the veteran striker explained his retirement plans and whether he would like to become a coach after leaving the game as a player.

"I don't think about what I've already won or what I've already done. I still have that feeling and that passion inside me," Lewandowski said.

"I think I can still play football for three or four years, because physically I feel very good."

He has stayed healthy for most of his career and still looks like he could play a few more seasons, barring injuries, of course. He has played 739 games and scored 550 goals in his career so far, per Transfermarkt.
