Expect Sadio Mané to largely play at the center of a three-man attack that will also include a rotation of Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnarby, and Leroy Sané. Gnabry, in particular, could be seeing a more elevated role within the squad. Off the field, Lewandowski will be harder to replace. The deal is heavily frontloaded to guarantee that the Rekordmeister will receive the payments from a Barcelona side in the news for financial difficulties. When it comes to filling the hole in attack, Bayern might very well look both internally but also bring in a young forward. For Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, the transfer is also a form of emancipation. The impending transfer will bring much-needed planning security to Bayern.

Last season, Barcelona finished a distant second in Spain to Madrid and failed to advance beyond the Champions League group phase. He also scooped up 10 Bundesliga titles, four German Cups, and a Club World Cup with the Bavarian powerhouse. He had one more season left on his contact with Bayern. Replacing a player who was Bundesliga top scorer for each of the last five seasons — and who set the league record of 41 goals in 2020-21 -- will be no easy task. Lewandowski scored 312 goals in 384 Bundesliga games for Bayern and previous club Borussia Dortmund. He hit 35 goals in 34 appearances last season to become the Bundesliga’s leading scorer for the fifth season in a row, and the seventh time overall.

Barcelona have confirmed an agreement to sign Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich as Xavi’s rebuild at Camp Nou continues apace. Lewandowski will not be short of creative players around him, either, with the signing of Raphinha from Leeds United and the decision to tie Ousmane Dembele down to a new contract meaning they will be battling with Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres for starting berths out wide. A statement from the club 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 club sold 10 per cent of its La Liga TV rights to the US firm, which ensured that they turned a profit at the end of the 2021-22 financial year - taking a giant step towards reversing their money woes in the process. Lewandowski is expected to sign an initial three-year contract with an option to extend it by a further year, meaning he could remain at Camp Nou through until the end of the 2025-26 season. The confirmation of the deal comes at the end of a saga which began before even the 2021-22 season was over, and ends with Barca once more having a modern icon of the game on their books, a year on from Lionel Messi's departure.

The sheer grandiose and royalty over La Liga's attacking rivalry has never been the same following Cristiano Ronaldo's departure from Real Madrid in 2018.

Benzema’s performances were vital in helping Real Madrid win the Champions League and La Liga last season. Only this time, it is going to be a battle of two ageing strikers in the form of Lewandowski and Karim Benzema. The sheer grandiose and royalty over La Liga’s attacking rivalry has never been the same following Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Real Madrid in 2018.

Lewandowski's lack of emotional impact on and off the pitch can't detract from his brilliance, but he leaves behind little love in Munich.

But it does explain why his legacy in Munich, unlike that of “Robbery” and the greats from the ’70s, will remain contested. While Lewandowski and head coach Julian Nagelsmann had differing ideas on tactics, a number of players were resentful that everything at Bayern seemed to revolve around the centre-forward. Their decade of uninterrupted domestic dominance, it’s important to remember, started two seasons before he arrived under Jupp Heynckes, with whom Bayern won the treble in 2012-13 while playing Mario Mandzukic up front. Now he wants to score goals to win games, with the team,” team-mate Thomas Muller said of his fellow forward’s newly-found collective streak. Bayern were sounding out Erling Haaland over a move from Dortmund and were thus unprepared to offer Lewandowski a lengthy new contract. The player reacted by saying something “had broken” inside him, and openly agitated for a move. He’s always chipped in with goals and his quality, but what we’ve seen happen this year is extra-special.” Club president Uli Hoeness was one of many supporters crying in the stands amid the general outpouring of love, gratitude and regret that greeted the iconic duo’s departure. (Aubameyang scored twice in Dortmund’s final-day 4-3 win over Werder Bremen, Lewandowski contributed only an assist to a 4-1 defeat of Freiburg.) Club legends Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery starred in their last home game for Bayern Munich, a 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt that secured their seventh championship in a row. Rival interest from Chelsea in England was met with Bayern intransigence. A devoted self-optimiser who reached a world-class level through hard work and game intelligence rather than God-given talent, Lewandowski didn’t have time for fraternisation.

Anthony Martial, who has enjoyed a good start to pre-season back at Man United, is still on £250k a week. Lewandowski, 33, has taken a 25 per cent reduction on that to push through a £42.5million move to Barcelona. ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI has taken a pay cut to quit Bayern Munich for Barcelona.

He has scored 312 goals over the past 12 seasons in the Bundesliga. In 78 Champions League games for Bayern Munich, he scored 69 times (including two against ...

After eight years of easy league titles at Bayern, perhaps the challenge of resurrecting Barcelona is what he needs. Barcelona hopes to be able to afford it by selling percentages of future television revenues and nearly half of the company it set up to run its marketing. He will almost certainly improve Barcelona, but it’s very hard to see how a signing of his heft could be considered a priority given the club’s financial instability. And he is a young 33. When Joan Laporta succeeded Josep Bartomeu as Barcelona president in 2020, his prime job seemed to be sorting out the finances of the club. It has announced the signings of two players it has not yet been able to register while it sorts out the budget.

In acquiring marquee player Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona may not only be thinking about goals.

But for the time being, Xavi has a ready-made player who, if supplied with chances, will deliver while he aims to build for more sustainable success once his latest addition leaves. Competing for and winning the Champions League will bring monetary rewards from UEFA, easing the club’s accounts year on year. At face value, Robert Lewandowski moving to Barcelona is a nice boost for the club on the field. Lewandowski’s decision reflects a professional who still thinks he can crack it at the top level. Most significantly, though, he can be a turning point in Barcelona’s fortunes. And while helping dethrone Real Madrid will be more of a challenge for Lewandowski next season, his arrival would make the squad an immediate contender.
