Bayern Munich have verbally agreed terms with Barcelona for the sale of superstar striker Robert Lewandowski.
The 33-year-old scored 50 goals last season – the most of all players in Europe’s top five leagues – but has since been pushing for a transfer away from the Allianz Arena.
A deal between Bayern and Barca was finally reported on Friday, with a total fee of €50million set to allow Lewandowski to leave.
And Bayern published an update on their official Twitter page on Saturday, carrying a quote from club president Herbert Hainer.
“We have come to a verbal agreement with Barcelona,” he said. “It’s good to have clarity for all parties.
“Robert is an incredible player, and he won everything with us. We are incredibly grateful to him.”
Lewandowski was pictured saying goodbye to his Bayern team-mates at their training ground early on Saturday morning.
