The Polish striker will undergo his medicals in Miami, Florida before penning the deal for £42.5m.
The 33-year-old expressed his desire to leave the German champions earlier in the summer and is understood to have been keen for a move to Camp Nou despite the financial crisis rocking the side coached by the legendary midfield maestro Xavi Hernandez.
Lewandowski has less than 12 months left to run on his existing contract at the Allianz Arena, meaning that Bayern were at risk of losing the Poland international on a free transfer in 2023.
However, club chiefs such as Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic frequently insisted that the two-time Best FIFA Men’s Player will honour his contract with the Bavarian giants.
The Bavarians have since signed Sadio Mane from Liverpool on a three-year contract and have renewed the contracts of Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Koman.
