One of the most drawn-out transfer sagas of the summer is about to come to an end as Robert Lewandowski edges closer towards his dream move to Barcelona.
At the end of last season, Lewandowski linked up with Poland during the international break and used a pre-match press conference to state that his journey with Bayern Munich had run its course.
The player had set his sights on a move to Barcelona, but with the Spanish club struggling to finance a serious bid, Lewandowski's future remained uncertain.
At the same time, Barcelona alleviated some of their financial pressures and ramped up transfer activity by completing the signing of Raphinha from Leeds United.
Robert Lewandowski will sign the contract with Barcelona during the weekend, already agreed since last February. Bayern will receive €50m add ons included. 🚨🇵🇱 #FCB
