Bayern Munich have announced their second signing of the day after taking Mats Hummels from Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund for £30million.
The Germany international has long been linked with a return to the club he started his career with before leaving for Dortmund in 2009.
And it was confirmed on Tuesday that the 27-year-old World Cup winner will join the recently-crowned German champoins on July 1 on a five-year deal, subject to a medical.
Carlo Ancelotti, who will take over from Pep Guardiola at the end of the season, has boosted his defensive ranks with the signing and the move has been hailed by club chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
‘We’re delighted that Mats Hummels has decided to join Bayern,’ said the Munich chairman on his club’s website.”
“Mats is one of the best central defenders in the world and we’re able to improve the quality of our team even further with him.”
Hummels had one year left to run on his contract at Signal Iduna Park and had informed Dortmund recently of his desire to leave them this summer.
