The
official
confirmation
is
set
to
come
later
in
the
day.
According
to
reports,
the
33-year-old’s
transfer
is
set
to
cost
Barcelona
around
50
million
euros.
With
one
of
the
most
decorated
striker’s
of
the
last
decade
set
to
join
Barca,
the
Spanish
Giants
who
endured
a
trophy-less
season
will
hope
to
turn
their
fortunes
around.
Speaking
to
Bayern’s
official
website,
Bayern
CEO
Oliver
Kahn
confirmed
that
though
a
verbal
agreement
has
been
reached,
the
contract
is
still
pending
and
the
paperwork
is
left.
Speaking
to
Bayern,
Kahn
said,
“We
have
reached
an
agreement
with
Barcelona
for
Robert
Lewandowski.
It’s
done
–
however
on
verbal
agreement,
the
contract
is
still
pending.”
Earlier
on
Saturday
(July
16),
ahead
of
his
move
to
Barca,
Lewandowski
was
quoted
by
Sky,
as
he
said,
“These
8
years
were
special
and
I
won’t
forget
that.
I
had
a
great
time
in
Munich.
I
will
come
back
to
say
goodbye
to
all
employees
properly.”
Following
Lionel
Messi’s
departure,
Barca’s
fortunes
have
been
troubled
with
on
and
off-field
issues
troubling
the
former
champs.
With
Lewandowski
set
to
turn
34
next
month
and
set
to
become
a
free
agent,
Bayern
picks
up
on
a
big
opportunity
to
cash
in
on
the
player.
In
the
previous
season,
Barcelona
finish
a
distant
second
behind
Real
Madrid.
Furthermore,
the
former
Champions
League
winners,
failed
to
go
beyong
the
Champions
League
group
phase.
Signing
Lewandowski,
a
proven
match-winner,
will
be
the
key
to
Barca’s
turnaround.
The
33-year-old
striker,
has
a
trophy-laden
cabinet,
with
312
goals
to
his
name
in
384
Bundesliga
games
for
giants
Bayern
and
his
former
club
Borussia
Dortmund.
In
the
previous
edition,
Lewandowski
found
the
back
of
the
net
35
times
in
34
appearances.
For
the
fifth
consecutive
season,
he
became
Bundesliga’s
leading
goal
scorer.
Overall,
Lewandowski
has
topped
the
list
seven
times.
Barcelona
head
coach
Xavi
Hernandez
will
now
have
a
proven
match-winner
join
the
ranks
apart.
Lewandowski
will
join
the
likes
of
Ferran
Torres
and
Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang,
who
joined
the
Spanish
giants
last
season.
The
three
will
pair
up
to
be
Barca’s
leading
goal
scorers.
