Bayern Munich have long insisted that Lewandowski was not for sale and turned down offers from Barca before.

Lewandowski recently returned to pre-season training with the German side but looked very disinterested in being a part of the sessions.

He was spotted at their latest training sessions in much higher spirits, as the deal was agreed on. Football journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted photos of Lewandowski saying goodbye to his teammates and coach, as he prepares for his future in Spain.
