Bayern Munich has completed the signings of Borussia
Dortmund captain Mats Hummels and Benfica teenager Renato Sanches on five-year
contracts in a double swoop which could cost in excess of $100 million.
Hummels, who started his career at Bayern, has opted to
rejoin his boyhood team one year before the end of his Dortmund contract for an
undisclosed fee.
The 27-year-old German World Cup winner, who announced his
desire to leave Dortmund last month, will have to play against his future
employers in the German Cup final on May 21.
Portugal's Sanches, 18, is widely regarded as one of
Europe's brightest prospects and has reportedly drawn interest from several
English Premier League clubs, including Manchester United.
"I have not made my decision after eight-and-a-half
successful years at BVB easily," Hummels said in a statement on Dortmund's
website.
