The midfielder has agreed on a contract with Bayern until 2025 and will wear the number 18 shirt.

The 27-year-old expressed delight in joining the Bavarians after completing his medical.

“I’m delighted to have the opportunity to play for FC Bayern. As a child my Bayern jersey was my pride and joy – I got a new one at Christmas every year. I’ll give everything for this club, I want to win as many matches as possible and of course collect lots of titles.”
