Despite the contract until the end of June 2023 in Munich, Lewandowski had pushed for a move to Barcelona this summer. “My story at FC Bayern is over. I realize that the transfer is the best solution for both sides”, the world footballer announced at the end of May. FC Bayern has now sold the 33-year-old to the Spaniards for up to 50 million euros.
“I said that both sides did things that were unnecessary. But maybe certain things had to happen for the change to be possible in the end. I think both sides are happy now. Bayern gets a lot of money, I can go to Barcelona”explained Lewandowski.

Lewandowski is said to have signed a contract for up to four years in Barcelona. “I know I’ll be 34 soon. But I feel very strong physically and mentally. Barcelona saw it the same way”said the striker. “I don’t know how things will continue after that, but even 2026 doesn’t have to be the end. I want to play at the top level for many years to come.”
