Barcelona will announce the signing of Robert Lewandowski on Saturday after reaching an agreement in principle with Bayern Munich late yesterday. The Barcelona club persuaded the Germans, who were hesitant to let the attacker go for less than 50 million euros. Finally, Laporta decided to increase his previous offer, offering 45 million fixed plus another five million in variables, which aided in getting the negotiations started.
FC Barcelona will pay this price to Bayern Munich: 45 fixed and five variable
All parties had set Friday as the deadline, as Lewandowski wanted to avoid the presentation of the Bayern team at the Allianz Arena this afternoon. The Bavarian fans had already been critical of the striker, and a hostile reception was expected as a result of his outspoken demand that the Teutonic leaders leave the club. "My time at Bayern is up; I don't see myself staying at this club." Transferring is most likely the best solution for both parties. Bayern is a serious club, but I hope they don't keep me just because they have the contract.
Due to the delay in the agreement, the footballer had to appear at Bayern's facilities last Tuesday, along with the rest of the squad, but in training, he made his position clear by showing obvious apathy and arriving late for training, which also aided the German club in agreeing to transfer him.
From the start, Lewandowski complied with Barcelona's request to publicly express his desire to leave Bayern and join the Barça team. The striker was one of the explicit requests that Xavi Hernández made to the sports management, as a lack of goals was one of the causes of Barcelona's poor season last year.
Lewandowski will sign a three-year contract with an option for a fourth season, and he will travel to Barcelona today to undergo a medical examination, though it appears unlikely that he will be part of the expedition that will tour the United States and leave Barcelona in the early afternoon.
Because Xavi wants to have him under his orders as soon as possible, the Pole would join the culé discipline as soon as his signing is made official and he passes the routine medical control. His presentation would take place after his return from the United States, during the same week as the Joan Gamper Trophy, which will be held at Camp Nou on August 7.
