German giants Bayern have completed a deal for the Portuguese player, who will move to Munich in the summer for an undisclosed fee.

Sanches signed a new contract at Benfica in November, which contained a release clause which would be triggered by a transfer offer of £35m (45m euros) - Bayern have paid an initial fee of £27.5m (35m euros).

And they have also bolstered their defence with the acquisition of Dortmund's German international centre-back Hummels on a deal until 2021. Hummels, had one year left on his contract at Dortmund, who had placed a "non-negiotable" price tag of £31.5m (40m euros) on the 46-cap international.

Thoughts? I think Bayern has once again done extremely well, and extremely fast. This is something I think more teams need to do, make business as fast as possible before the new season starts.

Excellent buy from dortmund. Ousmane is young and a excellent player. Hope he does wonders.

@Rayrex7 I heard he was a bit costy though, wonder if its true...
