Bayern Munich Announce Renato Sanches And Mats Hummels Double Deal
Bayern Munich shocked everyone on Tuesday by announcing the signings of Renato Sanches and Mats Hummels.
Bayern Munich have signed Renato Sanches from Benfica for an initial fee of €35million, and also announced the signing of Mats Hummels from Borussia Dortmund.
Sanches, 18, has agreed a five-year contract with the Bundesliga champions after completing a medical in Munich on Monday.
"Renato Sanches has been observed by FC Bayern over a long period," CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said in a media release.
"We are fortunate to have him committed to our club in spite of well-known international competition."
Benfica later confirmed that the initial fee of €35m could rise to €80m, with an addition €45m depending on success-related bonuses.
Meanwhile, Bayern also confirmed Hummels would return to the club, agreeing a five-year contract with the Bundesliga champions and join on July 1 for an undisclosed fee, subject to a medical.
The 27-year-old appears set to captain BVB for one last time when Thomas Tuchel's side meet Bayern in the DFB-Pokal final on May 21.
Hummels told Dortmund's official website: "I have not made this decision easily after eight-and-a-half successful years at BVB.
"I was always proud and still am, to wear the BVB jersey and to be part of this exceptional team. Before I return to my hometown in the summer, we have a large, common goal all: once again to bring the DFB-Pokal to Dortmund.
"For that I will give everything just like my team-mates. I wholeheartedly thank my team-mates, all the staff and fans for this long and wonderful time in Black and Yellow."
