Breno Set To Join Bayern Munich

The Bundesliga giants were keen to bolster their back line and are reported have agreed to pay €12.25m for the 18-year-old, who has yet to represent his country.

Breno was also being watched by Real Madrid, but Bayern have stepped in with a concrete offer and are close to making an official announcement about the player.

German daily Bild claim that the Brazilian is in Bavaria this week to put pen-to-paper on a four-and-a-half year contract.

While Breno cannot play for the club until January 1, Bayern were keen to wrap up the move before Christmas to fend off any competition for his signature.

The 1.87m defender was voted Brazilian football's best newcomer by journalists and was recommended to the club by their former striker and current scout, Giovane Élber.
