Munich's "Bayern" announced the first newcomer even before the winter transfer window began. The official website stated that the Bavarians signed a contract with 30-year-old German national team striker Sandro Wagner. The footballer's arrival in Munich has been clear for almost the entire season. S. Wagner has been wearing the "Hoffenheim" team's jersey since 2016. The striker performed quite well in this team and last summer he triumphed in the FIFA Confederations Cup with the German national team. The experienced player is familiar with the "Bayern" club - not only was he born in Munich, but he also attended the Bavarians' academy from childhood and was invited to the main team in the 2007-08 season. However, S. Wagner was unable to establish himself in the "Bayern" ranks at that time and went on to play for various clubs in the country - "Duisburg", "Werder", "Hertha" and "Darmstadt". S. Wagner will officially join "Bayern" as soon as the transfer window opens. The player himself has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the German champions.
