"Miunchen" acquired Menchengladbach's center-back Dante for an undisclosed amount. The 28-year-old footballer will join the ranks of Champions League finalists after this season. "We understand Dante's decision, but we are disappointed," said "Gladbach" sports director Max Eberl. "We never lost hope that he could write his name in the history of our club as a top-level player and fans' favorite." Although the value of the deal or the duration of the new contract is not disclosed, it is speculated that "Bayern" will pay around 4.7 million euros. Such amount was stipulated in the Brazilian's contract. "The Munich club is one of the best in the world, so I am happy with the opportunity to compete at the highest level and fight for trophies," said Dante. "I am already 28 years old, so it is time for a new stage in my career."
