It is understood that the 33-year-old will travel to Catalonia this weekend to complete the move. The striker had publicly expressed his desire to play for the Blaugranas and will be presented as a Barcelona player once he clears his medicals.
Bayern Munich will present their official team in front of the fans on July 16 and wanted to sort out Robert Lewandowski's future before that in order to avoid any friction between the player and the supporters. And amidst this, the club have decided to accept Barcelona's offer.
Barcelona and the German outfit have decided on a transfer fee of around €50m including add-ons for the Polish striker. He will be the Catalans' fourth major signing of the season after Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie and Raphinha.
