In June, He told Polish sports outlet Sport Onet that “they [Bayern Munich] didn’t want to listen to me to the end.

“Something died inside me. I just want to leave Bavaria. Loyalty and respect are more important than work,” he added.

“No offers other than Barcelona’s have even been considered by me,” he said.

“During so many years at the club [Bayern] I was always ready, available, despite injuries and pain, I did my best. I think the best thing is to find a good solution for both sides.”

Lewandowski credited Barcelona manager Xavi with convincing him the Catalan club was the right destination for him and said their ambitions are similar.

“I spoke to Xavi and I know from the start [what’s been on his] mind, its ideas. It was easy for me to decide to come to Barcelona because I’m the guy who wants to play and win and I think it’s very possible with Xavi.
