It remains to be seen just how Barcelona will be able to afford such a big salary given they are estimated to be €1.3 billion in debt and they need to cut their costs, while also being wary of FFP.
However, Sky also report that Barcelona believe that signing Lewandowski will boost their sponsorship contracts which will help repay these costs.
An explosive report in Poland on Monday claimed that the striker had even agreed a deal to join Barcelona this summer.

Lewandowski’s entourage are in talks with Barcelona, though, and a summer transfer is certainly a possibility.
Indeed, question marks remain over the long-term future of Lewandowski, whose contract at Bayern will expire in 2023. With the possibility of losing the prolific striker for nothing, the Bundesliga champions could be tempted into a sale in the summer as a result.
