On Wednesday night, Bayern Munich announced that they had signed midfielder Thomas Müller from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of €15 million (approximately $22.4 million). The German international has been with the Bundesliga giants since 2010 and has made over 400 appearances for the club.
In his first appearance for Bayern on Thursday, Müller assisted on the opening goal of the game against Augsburg. The assist came in the 6th minute as he played a one-two with fellow new signing Leon Goretzka before finishing past goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
Müller's return to Bavaria was met with mixed reactions from fans who were happy to see him back but also disappointed by the loss of Robert Lewandowski. However, it is clear that Müller will be a valuable addition to the team,Serie A Stadium providing the creativity and vision that Bayern have lacked in recent seasons.
Overall, Müller's return to Bayern Munich marks another successful summer transfer window for the club, which has seen them strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season. With Müller now added to the mix, Bayern Munich look set to be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.
