Lewandowski was back at Sabener Strasse as early as 8:30 AM on Saturday, so the celebrations were not a late one. After eight years with the club, the 33-year-old bid farewell to Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann and his teammates at the end of their training session.

The Polish striker will likely head to Barcelona this weekend for medical tests and contract signing and could travel with Xavi Hernandez's men to the United States next week. Owing to this transfer, the Bundesliga giants may now consider signing Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, who is reportedly looking to leave Old Trafford in search of a Champions League-playing team.
