On Saturday, Bayern Munich announced that they and Barcelona had reached an agreement for the sale of Polish sensation Robert Lewandowski to the Spanish club. “Barcelona has verbally agreed with us. We now have clarity, which benefits both parties,” Bayern president Herbert Hainer tweeted on behalf of the team.
Robert has achieved everything with us, making him a highly deserving player. He has our sincere gratitude. Bayern did not provide any information, but Spanish and German media reported that the two-time FIFA men’s player of the year had reached an agreement on a four-year contract worth 50 million euros ($50.4 million), including 5 million in potential add-ons.
The Catalans later announced the transfer of the 2020 Champions League champion. In a joint statement, Barcelona and Bayern Munich stated that they had “reached an agreement in principle for the transfer of Robert Lewandowski, subject to the player passing a medical and contracts being signed.”
Lewandowski, a forward, announced on German television that he would travel to the United States with the Barcelona team from July 18 to July 31. According to the media, he would receive his medical in Miami. The two teams’ agreement ends the dispute with the 33-year-old who declared at the end of May that “my journey with Bayern has come to an end.” Lewandowski’s current deal with Bayern, which expires in the summer of 2023, was only extended by one year.
His presentation as a Barcelona player was scheduled to take place when they returned to Catalonia in early August, but he was also dissatisfied with the money that had been provided and had argued with the Bavarian club’s coach.
