In a dramatic case of attempted fraud, FC Barcelona nearly lost one million pounds after a scammer impersonated Pini Zahavi, the agent who facilitated Robert Lewandowski’s transfer to the club. This was contained in a report on Thursday by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project,

A conman, who pretended to be a lawyer working with Robert Lewandowski's agent Pini Zahavi, managed to convince Barcelona to transfer €1million (£830,000) into a Cypriot bank account

Barcelona were 'conned out of €1 million' from the transfer of Robert Lewandowski by a fake agent. Lewandowski ended his illustrious spell with Bayern Munich by joining Barca in a deal worth £42.6 million. And the transaction nearly cost the Catalan giants €1 million as the club were almost duped by a fake agent.
