After disputes with Bayern Munich, the transfer of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona has become just a matter of time till the Spanish club concludes the administrative procedures with Bayern Munich; which gives the player the chance to open up and speak freely about what happened with him during this summer.
After the announcement made by the Bavarian club that they reached a verbal agreement with Barcelona, the Polish player, who is turning 34 next month, said to the German newspaper Bild: "It was the hardest decision of my life. There was no time for a proper farewell..." He added: "Thank you guys very much. It's all going to end today. We have written history together, and I will never forget it!."
Lewandowski's transfer to Barcelona wasn't smooth as Bayern Munich was insisting on keeping the player until the end of his contract next summer, but with the player's insistence not to stay more time in Bavaria: Bayern Munich eventually had no choice but to let him go.
"The last few weeks have been difficult," said the former Borussia Dortmund striker, who leaves Bayern after scoring 344 goals in 375 games in all competitions. "It is not easy for me to find the right words to describe the tension." "There's a lot going on in my head right now." "Recently, I've been trying to stay relaxed and enjoy the holiday with my family."
When he was questioned about his desire to transfer to Barcelona, he said:
“I wanted to play in a league other than the Bundesliga, I had made that decision a long time ago,” Lewandowski said. “But I have to emphasize that it was the most difficult decision of my life.”.
"My daughter is going to start school next year, so we had to make a decision."
“If not now, it would probably never have been possible,” he said. “It was a unique opportunity.”
"But there was good chemistry immediately. He told me, "I'll wait for you."
“Xavi told me that we would work well together and we could achieve a lot. He has a clear plan on how to bring Barcelona back to the top"
"Barcelona had problems last season. But the club has incredible potential and has made good transfers now. I think the club is on the right track - back to the top. My goal is very clear to get up there with Barça and win trophies."
Despite the problems and tension that arose with his transfer, Lewandowski is satisfied with the final result. He said: "As I said, both sides did things that were unnecessary. But maybe certain things had to happen for the move to be possible in the end. I think both sides are happy now. Bayern got a lot of money (45 million euros plus 5 million as bonuses), and I can go to Barcelona." "It's been a long, difficult road, but I think that in the end, we can all look each other in the eye."
