Xabi Alonso has left Freiburg, having signed for Bayern Munich.
The Spanish international striker Xabi Alonso has signed for Bayern Munich on a five-year deal, according to reports in Germany. The move is the latest in a string of moves by the Bundesliga giants as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
Alonso, who played for Freiburg until this summer, had been linked with a move to Serie A club Inter Milan and Real Madrid before he was offered his一份合同。
It's not clear exactly how long Alonso will be with the club, but it's expected that he will stay at Bayern for at least one more year.
The signing of Alonso marks a major coup for Bayern, which have struggled in recent seasons and have been looking for a new frontman to replace the departed Mario Alström. The 27-year-old has scored 14 goals in all competitions this season, and has been a key player for Freiburg in recent years.
The move comes after Alonso missed much of last season due to injury and the need to recover from a knee ligament injury. He has also struggled to find consistency in his performances for Freiburg, and is expected to make a big impact when he joins Bayern.
Alonso's departure means that Freiburg will now have two strikers in place for the start of the season, while there is no word yet on whether he will leave Freiburg permanently or sign elsewhere. It remains to be seen what impact he will have on the team next season, but it's certainly something to keep an eye on.
