Bayern Agree Lewandowski Move To Barcelona

Bayern Munich confirmed on Saturday they have accepted a deal with Barcelona for the sale of Polish star Robert Lewandowski to the Spanish club.

“We have a verbal agreement from Barcelona. It’s good for both sides that we have clarity,” Bayern president Herbert Hainer stated on the club’s Twitter account.

“Robert is a very deserving player, he has won everything with us. We are incredibly grateful to him.”

Bayern did not give too much information however, Spanish and German media reported the two-time FIFA men’s player of the year had accepted a four-year deal worth 50 million euros ($50.4m).

The agreement closes the standoff with the 33-year-old who said at the end of May “it is certain that my story with Bayern has come to an end.”

According to German media, Bayern had only offered Lewandowski a one-year extension to his contract, which expires in the summer of 2023.

Lewandowski joined Bayern in 2014, scoring 344 goals in 375 competitive matches and broke the Bundesliga single-season scoring record.

He won the Bundesliga in each of his eight seasons with the club as well as the Champions League, the Club World Cup and three German Cups.
