Robert Lewandowski, a new Barcelona striker, has spoken candidly about his departure from Bayern Munich.
He claims that in order to play in a different league, he pushed to sign on with Barca.
The 33-year-old, who was entering the final year of his contract at the Allianz Arena, will cost both clubs €45 million.
Lewandowski will now bring an end to his eight-year stint with Bayern.
“I wanted to play in a different league than the Bundesliga, this decision had been made for me for a long time.
“But I have to emphasise: It was the most difficult decision of my life.
“I wanted to live somewhere else again, to discover something new with my family,” he told Bild.
