It is claimed Bayern will trigger a £10.8million release clause in his contract which comes into effect next year and he will officially move to the Allianz Arena in the summer of 2018.
This will be Carlo Ancelotti's third addition to the squad with Hoffenheim duo Niklas Sule and Sebastian Rudy already agreeing to join the club this summer.
