Barcelona Agree £42.5m Deal to Sign Lewandowski from Bayern Munich

Barcelona have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich for the signing of striker Robert Lewandowski for £42.5m (€50m). He will fly to Spain on Saturday for a medical before signing his three-year contract, which contains an option for a further 12 months.

Up until now the German champions had insisted Lewandowski was not for sale and turned down a €40m (£33.8m) offer from Barcelona last month.

However, Lewandowski's departure would help Bayern to finance the signing of Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus, who have priced the centre-back at around €80m (£67.7m) plus bonuses, according to Sky in Italy.
