“I am very happy to join Barcelona,” he stated.
“I am very happy to be here. It was very easy to decide to come to Barcelona.
“Barcelona is back. I think I can help to put the team back at the top of European football.
“I like winning trophies and this is a new chapter for me, with new challenges.
“This was an opportunity for me privately. I have always wanted to play in LaLiga and for a big team. I’ve already been speaking to Xavi and I know about his ideas. He was a great player and has a great future ahead of him as a coach.”
The Catalans have continued their good work in the transfer market as the Polish international joins the squad alongside Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele, who re-signed.
Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are all former Borussia Dortmund players with Lewandowksi and “Auba” combining for 46 goals in their last season together.
Now 33, Lewandowski arrives after scoring 344 goals in 375 games for Bayern.
Barcelona finished 13 points behind their great rivals Real Madrid in La Liga last season.
