Bayern Munich has reached a verbal agreement with Barcelona on the transfer of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.
This was revealed by club president Herbert Hainer in an interview with Bayerischer Rundfunk during the Allianz FC Bayern Team Presentation on Saturday. Said Hainer:
It’s good for both sides that we have clarity. Robert has earned our appreciation, he has won everything with us. We are incredibly grateful to him.
Bayern Munich’s chief executive officer (CEO), Oliver Kahn thanked Lewandowski for his contribution to the club’s success. He said:
We have agreed to release Robert Lewandowski. We have a verbal agreement with FC Barcelona, the contract is still pending.
We know very well what we have to thank Robert for, but great players have also left FC Bayern in the past, and even after that, Bayern’s world did not fall apart.
On the contrary, it often continued with even more success.
Meanwhile, winger Serge Gnabry has extended his stay at FC Bayern until 2026.
