Bayern Munich have signed Spanish full back Juan Bernat from Valencia on a five-year contract, the Bundesliga club announced yesterday.

Bayern did not disclose the fee for the 21-year-old, who can also operate as a winger, but media reports quoted a figure of 10 million.

“Bernat is an extraordinary young player who we’ve been watching for a long time,” said sporting director Matthias Sammer.

“He is quick, good in the challenge and positive going forward. We are sure we’ve made a very good investment.”

Bernat joins recent Bayern signings, striker Robert Lewan-dowski from Borussia Dortmund and midfielder Sebastian Rode from Eintracht Frankfurt.

“Bayern are one of the greatest clubs in the world,” he said.

“I’m delighted to play alongside Lahm, Neuer, Schweinsteiger, Robben and Ribéry and to have Guardiola as my coach.”
