Spanish professional football ‘giant’ FC Barcelona has confirmed the signing of ‘scoring machine’ Robert Lewandowski (34).
The Barcelona club announced on their website on the 20th (Korean time) that they had signed a four-year contract with Lewandowski, who played for Bayern Munich (Germany).
According to Barcelona, the club has agreed to pay an advance fee of 45 million euros and an option 5 million euros (total about 66.7 billion won) to Munich as a transfer fee.
In addition, a buyout clause of 500 million euros (about 668.3 billion won) was included in Lewandowski’s contract with Barcelona.
A club that wants to take Lewandowski in the future will have to offer Barcelona more than 500 million euros, which means that Barcelona cannot refuse the transfer.
Lewandowski already joined the Barcelona squad on the pre-season US tour the day before, and also trained. His transfer was virtually confirmed.
The details of the transfer fee and new contract remained a matter of interest to fans.
Lewandowski is arguably one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Since 2010, he has played 12 seasons with Dortmund and Munich in the Bundesliga, scoring 312 goals in 384 appearances. During this period, he scored a total of 447 goals in official matches.
What’s even scarier is that in his 30s, he boasted a more intense scoring ability.
In the Bundesliga, he scored 34 goals in the 2019-2020 season, 41 goals in the 2020-2021 season, and 35 goals last season.
He has also been the top scorer in the Bundesliga for the last five seasons.
Lewandowski appears to be the best choice for Barcelona, who have struggled to fill the void after Lionel Messi’s departure to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Barcelona has been on a pre-season tour in the US since the 16th.
Real Madrid (Spain), Juventus (Italy), Inter Miami, New York Red Bulls (USA) are played in Miami, Las Vegas, and Dallas.
Lewandowski was not on the roster for the match against Inter Miami on the 20th, but he trained in Barcelona training clothes before the match.
It is expected that Lewandowski in Barcelona’s jersey will be seen in the next match, the ‘unofficial El Clasico’ against Real Madrid on the 24th.
