A sensational report in El Pais claims that Robert Lewandowski’s Barcelona transfer fee is much more expensive than publicly cited.
Lewandowski’s transfer from Bayern Munich to Barcelona was announced on Saturday, bringing to an end one of the longest-running sagas of the window.
It has been unanimously reported that Barcelona have paid a transfer fee that will eventually reach €50m.
However, El Pais report that the true value of the deal is actually €10m more than that and reaches €60m.
The report says that Barcelona agreed to pay €60m, providing Bayern confirmed that the fee was €50m.
This was done because Barcelona were worried about the reaction in the media to Barca paying such a huge sum of money for a player who turns 34 this summer.
The real breakdown of the transfer fee is; Barcelona will pay €45m upfront in one lump sum and then another €5m providing Barcelona qualify for the Champions League.
The extra €10m will then be paid to Bayern providing Lewandowski remains at Barcelona for the whole of the 2022-23 season.
El Pais further reports that Bayern celebrated the sale of Lewandowski, believing they made an incredible deal getting so much money from Barcelona for the veteran.
Barca are also reported to be the only team who made a concrete offer for Lewandowski this summer.
Lewandowski’s contract at Bayern was due to expire in 2023, and he was keen to make the move to Camp Nou in order for one final challenge at a big club before the end of his career.
He has been very vocal about this and made a number of public statements about his career at Bayern being over. This did not gone down well with his current club.
Bayern have signed Sadio Mane from Liverpool, although the attacker won’t be a direct replacement for Lewandowski.
Lewandowski spent eight years at Bayern, scoring 344 goals in 375 games for the club.
He has won eight straight Bundesliga titles and also the Champions League.

Ok genius, tell us how Liwi fits in? Was he a requirement or redundancy? How is he going to improve after 3-4 years OR explain how will be the ROI?

he simply stated facts, there is no disrespect anywhere. unlike other teams we don't depend on a single player, big names left bayern over the years and we are still bayern the every year contender for the ucl. it is just that simple.

€60 unnecessarily wasted. Lewadonski can't perform at top level after one year. Then Barca will need to spend another huge amount of money to get another top striker. They already have Auba and so Lewa was unneeded luxury. Barca has this season bought a number of players yet they already have good players in those positions. A fool and his money are soon parted. But for Barca, a fool and his money are soon parted....AGAIN 🤣

Damn, what's wrong with Barca presidents? One prez carelessly spends gigantic sums on "just good" players & over pays players without any plan-b to cover-up incase things go wrong, eventually drowns the club into bad debts! Now next prez starting to do the same mistakes in a different way - who pays 60m for a player who may has just 2-3 yrs at Max at the peak, while they already have a similar profile player in Auba!

If Bartomeu’s signings actually performed, nobody would be criticizing him today. Laporta is taking that same Gamble with Lewandowski. Only time will tell if he put his faith on the right signings.
