“I want to win as many titles as possible”: Lewandowski speaks after landing in Miami

Robert Lewandowski’s move to Barcelona was made official last week, putting an end to the long negotiations between the Catalans and Bayern Munich. The Poland captain immediate set out to join the team in Miami and will now participate in the pre-season under Xavi.

Upon his arrival in Miami, he spoke about his transfer and his objectives at the club among other topics. Here are the highlights from his interview as released officially on the club’s social media account.

The Polish international has never been one to settle for less and showed the same mentality when speaking about his goals at Barcelona.

“I’m here to help the club return to the top and win as many titles as possible,” Lewandowski stated, making his goals and ambitions clear.

Barcelona and Bayern Munich negotiated for well over a month before Lewandowski’s move could be made possible. The German club rejected close to four offers from the Catalans but ultimately caved in and let the striker leave. Speaking about his long transfer saga, he said:

“I’m finally here. I am very happy to be at Barça. The last few days have been long, but in the end, the agreement has become a reality. I am ready to face this new challenge in my career. I’m a guy who likes to win games and titles. I hope the season begins and ends well in this regard.”

Lewandowski then spoke about his decision to change clubs and move to Spain. “I have always wanted to play in a great La Liga club and this is a great opportunity for me. It is also a challenge for my private life,” he said.

Xavi was a major factor in the forward’s decision to sign for Barcelona. The manager maintained regular contact with Lewandowski directly, and the striker has nothing but respect for the Barcelona manager.

“I saw that his ideas fit mine. It has been easy to make the decision. I want to play and win titles and I know that with Xavi this will be very possible. He knows perfectly well how to lead Barça. He was an incredible player and now he is a great coach. He has a lot of future and I want to be part of it.”

Finally, he concluded the interview by acknowledging the talent in the squad. “I am a player who always wants to win. We have great players, with a lot of quality, in the squad. I am excited about what we can all achieve together,” he added.
