Lewandowski to join Bayern Munich in January
25-year-old Dortmond Borrussia player, Robert Lewandowski has confirmed he will sign a pre-contract agreement with Bayern Munich in January.
Lewandowski revealed his desire to join the German and European champions over the summer, but accepted he would have to remain at Dortmund until next year when his contract expires.
The Poland international announced his switch on German television,Switch1 channel.
Lewandowski was a pivotal player for the Westphalian club as they finished runners-up to Bayern in both the domestic and European leagues last season. The forward scored 36 goals in all competitions, which included becoming the first player to score four times in a Champions League semi-final when he dismantled Real Madrid single-handed.
He was unable to fire Dortmund to victory in the final, though, as Bayern claimed a 2-1 win at Wembley thanks to a last-gasp Arjen Robben goal.
Bayern made a bid for the striker over the summer but Dortmund were steadfast in their refusal to sell Lewandowski, who was also linked with Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City, to their fierce rivals.
Lewandowski was unhappy with that decision and made clear he would let the final year of his contract with Dortmund run out before joining Bayern.
He has scored four goals this season to help Dortmund to the top of Bundesliga after six games, level on 16 points with Bayern.
