Robert Lewandowski has no plans to slow down at Barcelona next season after a superb first season in Spain.
The veteran Polish international joined La Blaugrana at the start of the 2022–23 season after declaring his intention to leave Bayern Munich.
Despite turning 34 last August, Lewandowski has rolled back the years in Catalonia, with 22 league goals scored as he leads the top-flight scoring charts.
He is in a strong position to claim the Pichichi Trophy in the final weeks of the campaign, with a five-goal lead ahead of 2022 winner Karim Benzema.
Lewandowski’s goals have propelled Barcelona towards their first La Liga title since 2019, and he wants to build on that progress in the months ahead.
"More than 30 goals in my first season? I would have signed for that at the start of the campaign", as per reports from Marca.
"It was difficult at the start; with the World Cup on the horizon, it wasn’t a normal pre-season. I’m sure I can do better in the second season."
Lewandowski is up to 32 goals in all competitions from 44 games played so far; however, he will not catch his Bayern tallies, with 40+ scored in the previous seven campaigns.
Paolillo: Inter Milan closer to falling into Oaktree hands
Former Inter Milan director Ernesto Paolillo has again questioned Suning's ownership.
There remains doubts whether Suning can repay the loan taken out with Oaktree.
“From the news I am seeing, there are no real negotiations for a take-over, but it's not hard as a man of finance to put two and two together," Paolillo told Gianluca Rossi on his YouTube channel.
“Inter's debt is enormous, it really is huge. And it is not sustainable to pay a debt with the level of interest that the club is currently paying to Oaktree, because it means adding deficit to the deficit.
“I am convinced that Steven Zhang will not be able to export capital from China and won't be able to cover the debt with other resources either, so he will have no choice but to default on the agreement with Oaktree and sell the club to them in exchange for covering the debt.
“At that point, all future decisions would be in the hands of Oaktree."
