The Polish striker appears to be getting his wish, with a move to Camp Nou reportedly agreed upon.

Now he appears set to join the league where Ronaldo and Messi used to be the biggest names and where Benzema is the reigning top dog, and he joins a Barcelona side desperate to reclaim the glory that it has lost amid financial crisis. Regardless of whether that was a negotiating ploy, it appears a $50 million transfer fee will get the job done, with Lewandowski expected to be announced by Barcelona this weekend, perhaps in time to join his new club for its U.S. preseason tour. According to multiple reports on Friday, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement for a transfer that will send the two-time reigning FIFA Best Men’s Player of the Year from Allianz Arena to Camp Nou in a blockbuster move.

Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski is set to move to Barcelona in a deal worth 50 million euros ($50.4m), according to multiple reports on Saturday.

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. Bayern had only offered Lewandowski a one-year extension to his contract, which expires in the summer of 2023, according to German media.

"I'm hearing that for the first time," he said. His 55 goals in all competitions in 2019/20 were key to Bayern winning the treble, as Lewandowski became the first player to be top-scorer in the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup competitions in a single season. Lewandowski put himself firmly on Bayern's radar with a hat-trick against them in the prestigious surroundings of Berlin's Olympic Stadium as Dortmund romped to a 5-2 win in the 2012 German Cup final. He finished last season banging in goals for Bayern, earning the trophy as the Bundesliga's top-scorer for the fifth straight year. The forward turns 34 in August, yet Lewandowski is showing no signs of slowing down and now embarks on a fresh challenge to make as much impact on Spain's La Liga as he did in the Bundesliga. Following eight glorious years in Munich, winning the Bundesliga each season and lifting the Champions League trophy in 2020, Lewandowski announced in late May that "my story with Bayern comes to an end".

Barcelona have confirmed an agreement to sign Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich as Xavi’s rebuild at Camp Nou continues apace. Lewandowski will not be short of creative players around him, either, with the signing of Raphinha from Leeds United and the decision to tie Ousmane Dembele down to a new contract meaning they will be battling with Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres for starting berths out wide. A statement from the club read: "FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement in principle for the transfer of Robert Lewandowski, dependent on the player passing a medical and contracts being signed." The club sold 10 per cent of its La Liga TV rights to the US firm, which ensured that they turned a profit at the end of the 2021-22 financial year - taking a giant step towards reversing their money woes in the process. Lewandowski is expected to sign an initial three-year contract with an option to extend it by a further year, meaning he could remain at Camp Nou through until the end of the 2025-26 season. The confirmation of the deal comes at the end of a saga which began before even the 2021-22 season was over, and ends with Barca once more having a modern icon of the game on their books, a year on from Lionel Messi's departure.

The reigning two-time FIFA Best Men's Player of the Year played at his old club since 2014.
