IT'S DONE: De Ligt pens 5-year Bayern Munich contract 'everything is perfect'

Matthijs de Ligt has left Juventus and signed for Bayern Munich.

The Holland defender has penned a five-year deal after visiting Bayern's Sabener Strausse training HQ.

De Ligt will now jump on a private flight for the US to join his new teammates.

On Sunday, Bayern had an offer rising to €90m accepted by Juve.

Before leaving Turin for Munich last night, De Ligt's agent Rafaela Pimenta said: "De Ligt will be at Bayern Munich. He is happy and (Paul) Pogba is happy too. We just have to thank Juventus who have been very good, we just have to thank the directors, Arrivabene and Cherubini.

"Everything is perfect."
