Barcelona have reached a "verbal agreement" with Bayern Munich to sign Poland striker Robert Lewandowski, says the Bayern president.
The 33-year-old, who has one year left on his Bayern contract, told the club last month that he wishes to leave.
Lewandowski scored 50 goals in 46 games last season as he helped Bayern win a 10th straight Bundesliga title.
"It's good to have clarity for all parties," said Bayern president Herbert Hainer.
"We have come to a verbal agreement with Barcelona.
"Robert is an incredible player and he won everything with us. We are incredibly grateful to him."
Lewandowski joined Bayern on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2014 and has scored 344 times in 374 games for the club, making him their second-highest scorer of all time behind Gerd Muller.
The Pole has won the league in all eight of his seasons at Bayern and also helped the Bavarians win the Champions League in 2019-20.
Bayern have also announced that Germany winger Serge Gnabry, 27, has signed a contract extension until 2026.
Barcelona completed the signing of Raphinha from Leeds on Friday in a deal worth up to ÂŁ55m having already signed Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen on free transfers earlier this month.
