Xabi Alonso has completed a £5million move to Bayern Munich from Real Madrid. The former Liverpool midfielder had been linked with a move to Manchester United after five years at the Bernabeu, but will now link up with Spanish compatriot Pep Guardiola. The 32-year-old will provide cover for the German champions after injuries to Javi Martinez, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thiago Alcantara.
Real Madrid confirmed the move via an official club statement: ‘Real Madrid CF and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Xabi Alonso. ‘The player will appear before the media on Friday at 11:00pm in the press room at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, accompanied by the Director of Institutional Relations Club , Emilio Butragueno.’
The La Liga giants sanctioned Alonso's departure following the arrival of former Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos.
