Barcelona have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Bayern Munich to sign Robert Lewandowski.
Earlier this summer, the 33-year-old publicly admitted his desire to leave the Bundesliga champions, 12 months ahead of his contract expiry.
A statement on Barcelona website revealed that the Poland international is on his way to Camp Nou after a €50m (£42.5m) deal was struck between the two clubs.
The statement 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 striker from Poland stands out for his goalscoring abilities. Inside the box he has all the tools to make him a difficult striker to read as he can find the net with his head and both feet with equal precision.
“His technical qualities also mean that he can link up well outside the box also. Lewandowski will bring goals, experience and know-how to the Barça attack.”
