Daley Blind is ‘set for a shock move to Bayern Munich’

Daley Blind is set to complete a surprise free transfer to Bayern Munich in the coming days after being pictured arriving ahead of his medical.

The former Manchester United star recently agreed to terminate his Ajax contract six months early to become a free agent, bringing the curtain down on trophy-laden four-year spell at his boyhood club.

The Holland international has since been linked with numerous clubs, but it appears that the defender has found his new side in Bayern.

The 32-year-old has already been pictured arriving in Munich ahead of his medical, according to reporter Florian Plettenberg.

The defender is expected to initially sign a contract at the club until the end of the season, The Athletic has reported.

Blind, who was a regular for Holland during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, will bolster boss Julian Nagelsmann’s options in both defence and midfield as the German giants look to secure an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title.

He will be a huge boost with injuries to key players such as Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Neuer already ahead of their return to league action – therefore he could prove a strong addition to replace Hernandez.

Blind came through Ajax’s academy, made 333 appearances for the Amsterdam club between two four-year spells at the club – from 2008 to 2014 and then 2018 to 2022 – where he became an Eredivisie champion on seven different occasions.

He also won the KNVB Cup and Johan Cruyff shield twice, while he also was named as Ajax’s player of the year in 2013 before Eredivisie’s player of the year in 2014. Blind scored 13 goals for Ajax.
