Borussia Dortmund have tonight reached a full agreement with Bayern Munich to sign Marcel Sabitzer for a reported €19m including bonuses, according to Florian Plettenberg.
After spending the last six months on loan at Manchester United, Sabitzer will now sign a contract with Borussia Dortmund until at least 2027, with the deal expected to be finalised in the next 48 hours.
As reported by Sky Germany, Sabitzer had originally pushed for a move to England or Italy, but Dortmund remained persistent on their efforts to sign the 29-year-old Austrian midfielder.
Sabitzer was present at Bayern Munich’s team presentation on Sunday, but left the Allianz Arena while the presentation was still ongoing, as reported by Sport1. When asked why he was leaving, Sabitzer said: “You have your sources, right?”
Sabitzer had a successful spell at Manchester United under Erik ten Hag, playing 18 games across all competitions, scoring three and creating one. During his time at Bayern Munich following his €15m transfer from RB Leipzig in 2021, the Austrian played 54 games in all competitions, scoring two and creating a further two.
He would become the latest player to arrive at Borussia Dortmund following the signings of Ramy Bensebaini and Felix Nmecha.
