Barcelona slap €500m as buyout clause on 33-year-old Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski will be the latest star to torment La Liga defenses after he completed a move to FC Barcelona.

Lewandowski has swapped Allianz Arena for Camp Nou in a move that will see Bayern Bank €50 million as a transfer fee.
The 33-year-old has put pen to paper on a four-year contract that will see him wear the Barcelona colours until the summer of 2026.
