The finer details of Robert Lewandowski's complex Barcelona contract have emerged - including the Polish striker's staggering €500million (£431m) release clause.
After courting Lewandowski for months, Barcelona finally struck a £42.5m deal to prise the 34-year-old forward away from Bayern Munich earlier this summer.
The ex- Borussia Dortmund star established himself as one of Europe's most complete strikers during his productive nine-year spell in Munich, and for that reason, Bayern were, understandably, reluctant to cash in on their prized attacking asset. But they finally relented after Lewandowski had made it clear that he was unwilling to remain in Germany.
