World footballer Robert Lewandowski apparently leaves FC Bayern. Two months after the “Basta” announcement by CEO Oliver Kahn, the change vortex ends with the departure of the Pole.
According to media reports, world footballer Robert Lewandowski wants to fly to Spain this Saturday because of his expected move to FC Barcelona. The Pole should then sign his contract with the Catalans by Sunday at the latest. According to consistent media reports, FC Bayern Munich and Barcelona had agreed on a transfer of the world footballer on Saturday night. Accordingly, the German record champions will receive a fee of 45 million euros from the Catalans and up to five million euros in bonus payments. In Barcelona, the Polish international is to receive a four-year contract until 2026.
The 33-year-old should also no longer take part in Bayern’s team presentation in the afternoon (3 p.m.) in the Allianz Arena. According to media reports, Lewandowski was at the Munich training ground on Säbener Straße on Saturday morning. As early as Sunday, the world footballer should go on a US tour with FC Barcelona.

Departure of Robert Lewandowski
The departure had become more and more apparent. Lewandowski himself had forced his departure from Munich with ever clearer words. The initially polite request to leave the club has since given way to an unequivocal demand. “My story with Bayern is over. After everything that has happened in the last few months, I can’t imagine further good cooperation,” said the 33-year-old, trying to urge his employer to release it. Recently, calm had returned between the two parties.
Kahn had emphasized Lewandowski’s whereabouts with a “Basta” announcement at the championship celebration in mid-May. But after the latest developments, the Munich team thought differently.
The training session on Friday morning was Lewandowski’s last in a Bayern Munich jersey for the time being. While national player Serge Gnabry is about to extend his contract, the number nine’s time is over and there will be no joint offensive with new signing Sadio Mané.
