Poland striker Robert Lewandowski is set to join Barcelona after Bayern Munich reached a verbal agreement with the La Liga side on a transfer, the Bundesliga champions said on Saturday.

The 33-year-old has 12 months remaining on his Bayern contract and multiple media reports had said he was expected to sign a three-year deal with the 26-times Spanish champions.

“It’s good to have clarity for all parties,” Bayern president Herbert Hainer said in a statement. “We have come to a verbal agreement with Barcelona.”

“Robert is an incredible player and he won everything with us. We are incredibly grateful to him,” he said.

Spanish media reported that Barcelona would pay around 45 million euros ($45.4 million) plus another 5 million in add-ons for the striker. Lewandowski joined Bayern in 2014 from Borussia Dortmund and has won the Bundesliga every year since then, as well as the Champions League in 2020.

Named Fifa Best Men’s Player for the second straight year in January, Lewandowski said in May that “my story with Bayern Munich is over” and he could not imagine staying on with the German champions.

The club were not eager to let the Bundesliga’s second-highest all-time scorer go, but Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic had confirmed Lewandowski did not accept an offer to extend his contract and was looking for new experience elsewhere.

Lewandowski, one of soccer’s most prolific scorers of the past decade, will greatly boost Barcelona’s chances of rebuilding a competitive side after winning nothing last season following the departure of Lionel Messi.

Lewandowski scored 312 goals in 384 Bundesliga games for Bayern and previous club Borussia Dortmund. He hit 35 goals in 34 appearances last season to become the Bundesliga’s leading scorer for the fifth season in a row, and the seventh time overall.

He helped Bayern win the 2020 Champions League, after they humiliated Barcelona 8-2 in the quarter finals.

He also scooped up 10 Bundesliga titles, four German Cups, and a Club World Cup with the Bavarian powerhouse.

Bayern also announced that German international Serge Gnabry, who had been linked by the British media with a return to the Premier League, had extended his contract until 2026.

Barcelona completed the signing of Raphinha from Leeds on Friday in a deal worth up to £55m.
