Barça has already closed its particular soap opera of the summer:

Robert Lewandowski

will be Barça.

Barely a few hours after the Barça president,

Joan Laporta

, pointed out that Bayern had not yet responded to his proposal to take over the player, events ended up precipitating.

In the early hours of Friday to Saturday, the striker's arrival at the Camp Nou for

45 million euros began to be taken for granted, to which up to five more would be added if a series of variables are met

.

The Bavarian club, for its part, was the first to confirm the verbal agreement with the Barcelona fans, whose announcement was made to beg even for a few hours, until it ended up confirming what was already an open secret.

The only thing missing now to completely close the signing is for Lewandowski to pass the mandatory medical review.

Once this mere procedure has been completed, the striker

will sign a contract that will bind him to Barça until June 30, 2025, although his commitment may be extended for one more campaign

.

With his arrival at Camp Nou, Xavi adds a player he has always raved about and who will bring him something that was sorely missed throughout too many phases of last season: goalscoring ability.

The Pole, who will turn 34 on August 21, continues to be a guarantee in this regard.

Not surprisingly,

last season he was able to score 50 goals in 46 games played for the Bavarian team

.

In fact, the 35 he managed to score in 34 games in the Bundesliga allowed him to win his second consecutive Golden Boot.

Lewandoski's attitude has also been essential for Barça to finally get his services.

The Pole made it very clear to Bayern last June that he wanted to end his time at the German club, despite the fact that he still had one more year left on his contract with the Bavarians.

In his opinion, the entity to which he arrived in the summer of 2014 has not exactly been the best showcase to be able to fight for the Ballon d'Or, no matter how much that fight, for a long time, was practically monopolized by Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo .

From his point of view, the Camp Nou, in need of idols after the Argentine's departure to PSG, could become the ideal springboard to achieve that goal.

Hence his insistence on closing his arrival at the Barça club, no matter how much Bayern, at times,

The Pole, after passing the pertinent medical examination, will travel to Miami to join the tour of the United States that Barça is going to carry out over the next few days, and in which he will play

friendly matches with Inter Miami, the Real Madrid, Juventus and the New York Red Bulls

.

The duel against the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti could possibly be, precisely, the first that Lewandowski disputes with the azulgrana colours.

Xavi's administrative problem

On the other hand, Xavi has not been able to travel with the rest of the Barça expedition to the United States due to a problem with his documentation.

The current Barcelona coach was in Iran as a player for Al Saad and anyone who has been in that country needs a special permit to enter the US.

Although the Barça club believed that they had solved the procedure, upon arriving at the airport, the coach found that he did not have the permit, so he will have to wait until Monday to be able to travel.
