Report shows that Bayern Munich are set to complete the signing of Netherlands international Daley Blind as the club’s first transfer of the January transfer window.

Although the 32-year-old defender has agreed to make the move to the Bundesliga giants on a short-term deal until the end of the season,

Transfermarkt can confirm. Having left Ajax at the start of the year, Blind makes the move to Munich as a free agent with a market value of €6 million.

Blind departs Dutch football following his second stint at Ajax, racking up an impressive tally for the club that trained him as a youth player.

Over the course of his career in Amsterdam, Blind featured in 333 games across all competitions for Ajax and won seven league titles, as well as two Dutch Cups.

In between his two stints at Ajax, Blind spent five years at Manchester United, where he made 141 appearances for the Premier League side.
