It is safe to assume that the Bavarian giants will be pocketing €1.25 million this season. Robert Lewandowski has made an excellent start to his Barcelona career and has been scoring goals at an alarming rate for Xavi Hernandez's side.
At the time of writing, Lewandowski had already scored 17 goals and provided four assists from 16 appearances across all competitions. The Pole has to score eight more goals to reach the 25-goal threshold.
It is worth mentioning that Lewandowski is currently leading La Liga's goalscoring charts. The forward has scored 12 league goals from 11 appearances so far this season. He has only gone three La Liga games without finding the back of the net.
