Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said, “We’re delighted that Daley is joining our team. Daley is a versatile defender, capable of playing on the left or in the centre. He has great international experience and leadership qualities. I’m sure he’ll help us.”
Daley Blind said, “I can hardly wait to play here. We’ve got the most important part of the season coming up, where it’s about titles – and a club like Bayern can win every trophy. The hunger for titles here at the club was key in my decision. I hope I can bring my experience to help the team. I’ll give everything for Bayern Munich.”
Blind will fly with the team to their training camp in Doha in Friday, January 6. He completed his medical in Munich on Thursday.
Blind has won the Dutch Eredivisie seven times with Ajax, as well as the domestic cup twice. He also won the 2017 UEFA Europa League with Manchester United. The defender has 99 caps (three goals) for the Netherlands national team, having also played in every game for the Dutch as they reached the quarterfinals at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
