Both clubs reached
agreement overnight Friday, according to Bild and Kicker newspapers and the Sky
Germany channel, ending a standoff with the Polish forward who has said he wants
to leave the Bavarian giants.
At the end of May,
Lewandowski said “it is certain that my story with Bayern has come to an end.”
Lewandowski, twice
voted FIFA men’s player of the year, is reported to be set to sign a four-year
contract with Barcelona.
“The striker has
planned to arrive today (Saturday) in Barcelona to undergo his medical
examination and sign for four seasons,” Catalan newspaper Sport reported.
“The Polish player
will not be at the presentation of the Bavarian team today,” said Catalan daily
Mundo Deportivo, adding that the 33-year-old will join the Spanish team for
their tour of the US from July 18–31.
Bayern had only
offered Lewandowski a one-year extension to his contract, which expires in the
summer of 2023, according to German media.
The Polish
international was also unhappy with the salary offered and had clashed with the
Bavarian club’s coach
Julian Nagelsmann, over his tactical choices.
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.
