Robert Lewandowski has opened up on an unofficial meeting with Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez in Ibiza this summer in which he was convinced to move to the Camp Nou.
The Poland international’s transfer to the Blaugrana was confirmed on Saturday with the striker departing Bayern Munich in a deal which El Pais insists has a total value of €60million (£51m). Bayern were said to be delighted at the fee they obtained for the striker, who will celebrate his 34 th birthday next month.
Lewandowski has now revealed that he held a “chance” meeting with Barca boss Xavi in Ibiza earlier this summer when both were coincidentally spending time on the Spanish island. The striker claims that the coach gave him a sales pitch which helped persuade him to move to the Camp Nou this year.
