He was asked about the rumors that his desire to leave the club was due to their pursuit of Erling Haaland, who left the club to join Manchester City.

He denied that it was related to Erling. Truth is more important than anything else for me. I don't want to talk about what transpired. If the question is if the decision to move was because of him, I don't think the problem would arise.

He said that some people don't say the truth to him. It was important for me to be clear, to stay true, and maybe for a few people that was the problem. I know that something doesn't work well with my person and I think it's a good time to join Barcelona.

I spent a great deal of time there and I'm going to miss a lot. We were more than friends from the field. This chapter is over and I have a new chapter in my life and career.

I think I'm in the right spot. There was a lot of politics in the last few weeks before I left the club. It was hard to explain to the fans why they could sell me to another club. Even though it was a lot of bulls, I had to take it. In the end, I knew that the fans were still behind me.

The Poland international had made it clear through a series of public interviews from the end of last season into the summer that he was ready to leave.

At the time of the transfer, Oliver Kahn said in a statement that the club had agreed to let Robert Lewandowski go. The contract with FC Barcelona is still being worked on.

Even after Robert left, the world of FCB did not fall apart. It kept going with even more success.

He won the Golden Boot for Europe's leading goal scorer twice and was runner-up for the Ballon d'Or.
