Fabrizio Romano confirms that, after months of rumours, chatter, and speculation, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have finally agreed on a deal for the transfer of Robert Lewandowski.
Barcelona have been tracking the 33-year-old striker for months, and the Poland captain is also looking for a new challenge in his career. Personal terms had been agreed upon between the striker and Barça months ago, but an agreement with Bayern Munich had been missing as the German champions maintained that the ace goalscorer was not for sale.
However, after rejecting three previous bids, the Bavarian giants have begun to warm up to the deal in recent days and have decided to accept Barça's latest offer.
According to multiple reports from Spain, Germany, and the transfer guru himself, Fabrizio Romano, the deal is worth €50 million, including add-ons, with Lewandowski refusing to negotiate with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, who were also interested in signing the 33-year-old Poland captain, and Barcelona have reached an agreement on the transfer of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski to the Catalan club.
Lewandowski had one year remaining on his Bayern Munich contract and had informed the German champions that he would not sign a new one; Lewandowski will fly to Spain on Saturday for a medical before signing a three-year contract; Julian Nagelsmann's side is interested in signing Matthijs de Ligt.
He will fly to Spain on Saturday for a medical before signing a three-year contract with a 12-month extension option. The Poland international had only one year left on his Bayern contract and had informed the club that he would not be renewing it.
Until now, the German champions have insisted Lewandowski is not for sale, rejecting a €40 million (£33.8 million) offer from Barcelona last month. However, Lewandowski's departure would help Bayern finance the signing of Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus, who are asking for around €80 million (£67.7 million) plus bonuses, according to Sky Italia. The deal has been closed for 45 million euros, according to the most reliable sources connected to both clubs, with a further 5 million to be added in performance bonuses. Some reports claim Lewandowski will sign a three-year contract, though some reports claim the 33-year-old could eventually sign a four-year contract with Barça. Lewandowski will be in Catalonia this weekend for medical tests and to sign the contract.
Robert Lewandowski will join Barcelona this weekend after Bayern Munich verbally accepted an increased offer of up to €50 million (£42.5 million) for the 33-year-old forward. There was a breakthrough in negotiations on Friday, with Bayern now willing to let their star striker leave for a fee of up to €50 million, including add-ons. Lewandowski agreed to personal terms with Barça in February and will sign the three-year contract this weekend.
The Pole had been linked with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain after expressing his desire to leave the Bundesliga champions with a year left on his contract. Lewandowski, on the other hand, refused to discuss a potential transfer to any other club and now appears to have secured his desired move to the Camp Nou. Despite the fact that Xavi's side has reported financial problems, Lewandowski's arrival will add to a busy summer of recruitment for Xavi's side. Raphinha, a Brazilian winger, joined Franck Kessié and Andreas Christensen, who were out of contract at Milan and Chelsea, respectively, on Friday.
