FC Bayern Munich announced on Saturday that it has officially reached a verbal agreement with FC Barcelona on the transfer of the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. The reported transfer fee stands at €50 million.
"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," CEO Oliver Kahn noted, while club president Herbert Hainer shared in an interview that Bayern is "incredibly grateful [to Lewandowski]."
Today, Lewandowski bid his farewell to the team members during his last training session with Bayern. "These eight years were special and you don't forget that. I had a great time in Munich," the striker told Sky Sport News in Germany.
