FC Bayern München have signed Sandro Wagner from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. After completing a medical, the 30 year-old Germany international signed a contract with the record German champions from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2020.

Sandro Wagner, who was born in Munich and whose family still live in the area, spent 11 years in the FC Bayern youth ranks before progressing to the reserve team in 2006 and then the first team in 2007/08, making four Bundesliga appearances. After spells at MSV Duisburg, Werder Bremen, Kaiserslautern, Hertha BSC and Darmstadt 98, the 6 ft 3 striker moved to Hoffenheim in 2016. During his time there he scored 18 goals in 50 competitive games. He also broke into the national team and has scored five goals in seven internationals for Germany.

The 2009 European U21 and 2017 Confederations Cup winner will join up with the squad on 2 January for the training camp in Qatar. After signing the contract, he said: “I’m delighted. A long journey for me is now at an end and I can return to my home, my club. I’m very happy that it’s come off. Bayern are the best club in Germany and one of the best in the world. When I got the offer, I didn’t have to think about it for long.”

FCB sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic also expressed his delight: “In Sandro Wagner we have another Germany international coming to Bayern. We’re convinced that Sandro will enhance our squad with his class and his experience.”

FC Bayern have tied Kinglsey Coman down to a new long-term contract at the club. The France international has extended his contract, which was due to expire on 30 June 2020, until 30 June 2023.

The 21 year-old, who first joined the club on loan from Juventus in 2015 before signing a permanent deal last summer, has scored 12 goals in 84 appearances for the Reds in all competitions and has also established himself in the French national team, racking up 15 caps. The winger has already been able to celebrate five league titles, three cup wins and four Supercup successes during his career at Paris Saint-Germain (2005-2014), Juventus (2014-2015) and Bayern.

“I’m very happy that I’ll be able to keep playing for this club for a long time. I feel at home at Bayern and in Munich,” said the Paris-born attacker, who’s regarded by Bayern as “a player with great future potential”, as Hasan Salihamidzic said after the early contract extension.

The FCB sporting director added: “Kingsley Coman has made fantastic progress this season and has rightfully become a senior France international while at Bayern. We’re pleased to have tied Kingsley down to a long-term contract and are convinced he’ll become a true great at Bayern in the future.”
