By Raphael Guerreiro has successfully transferred from Borussia Dortmund to Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich.
Bayern won the German Bundesliga for the 11th consecutive year, defeating Dortmund in a match that came down to the last day of the regular season. To further aggravate the situation, Thomas Tuchel’s team has now signed a great player from Dortmund on a free transfer.
Having previously coached Guerreiro while at Dortmund from 2015 to 2017, Tuchel reunites with the Portuguese international. The team has officially announced that the left-handed player has signed a three-year contract that will keep him in Munich through June 2026.
Jan-Christian Dreesen, the CEO of Bayern, expressed his happiness with the signing of Guerreiro.
“Raphaël Guerreiro has been among the best and most consistent players in the Bundesliga for years,” he told Bayern’s website. “He is versatile and internationally experienced and fits perfectly into our team as both a character and player. We are very happy that we’ve been able to sign him and that he’ll be wearing the FC Bayern shirt in the future. The coach and we as management agree that he will undoubtedly enhance our game.”
Guerreiro himself also had his say upon signing the dotted line.
“When the call came from FC Bayern, I made my decision fast. It’s an honour for me to be able to play for this great club, and I also regard Thomas Tuchel highly from our time together at Dortmund. I am a player who always wants the ball – it’s about controlling the game and I want to create chances. I’ll give my all so that we win as many titles as possible. That’s the philosophy of FC Bayern.”
