Robert Lewandowski has said he had eight ‘special’ years at Bayern Munich as he prepares to sign for Barcelona.
Lewandowski on Saturday said goodbye to his Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann and his team-mates ahead of leaving for a medical with Barcelona in Miami.
‘I will come back and say a proper goodbye to all the employees. I didn’t have much time to prepare for it,’ he told Sky Sport News in Germany.
‘These eight years were special and you don’t forget that. I had a great time in Munich. I will fly soon, but after the training camp I will come back and say goodbye properly and organise a few more things.
‘I said goodbye to the guys on the pitch today. I wasn’t worried about an injury in training. Something can happen to me at home. Wanted to keep fit and trained with the boys again.’

The 33-year-old striker was pictured embracing Nagelsmann before leaving Bayern’s training ground, and will likely fly out shortly to the US to complete his move, which has been agreed at £42.5million plus another £5m in add-ons.
He is expected to sign a three-year deal at the Nou Camp with the option of a fourth, and the Spanish giants are hopeful of wrapping up the transfer by Sunday.
Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn told BILD: ‘We have reached an agreement with Barcelona for Robert Lewandowski. It’s done – however on verbal agreement, the contract is still pending’.
