Robert Lewandowski moved from Bayern Munich to Barcelona in a blockbuster transfer on Friday. On Saturday, he posted a message on Instagram to thank his fans from his now former team.
The picture shows Lewandowski’s shirt hanging in his old closet.
“I would like to thank my teammates, staff, club management and everyone who has always supported me and enabled us to win trophies for @fcbayern,” Lewandowski said. “I am proud of what we have achieved together. Above all, I would like to thank the fans, because you are what make @fcbayern the special club that it is. I am honored to spend 8 wonderful years with this club and its fans and it will remain in my heart forever.
The Polish star definitely wanted to leave Bayern Munich, where he has been playing since 2014, before the end of his contract. He got the urge to land in Barcelona.
The two-time reigning FIFA Men’s Player of the Year has signed a three-year deal with Barcelona, with an option for a fourth.
The 33-year-old has won seven of the last nine Bundesliga Golden Boots, including the last five. Bayern won the Bundesliga title in each of his eight seasons in Munich and scored 344 goals in 375 appearances for the club.
