Barcelona Acquires Robert Lewandowski
As Matthijs de Ligt joins Bayern Munich, one of the top footballers from Bayern Munich, Robert Lewandowski is leaving the German club. Following his departure from Bayern Munich, Lewandowski will be joining Barcelona.

Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger had recently left Chelsea and the club was trying to fill the void left by the players. These players had reportedly left Chelsea during the free transfer window.
De Ligt had been part of Juventus for the past three seasons. He had left Ajax to play as a midfielder at Juventus. At Juventus, he helped the club win 1 Coppa Italia and 1 Serie A title.
