Berlin: Bayern Munich confirmed on Sunday they have sold Brazil centre-back Dante to Wolfsburg for an undisclosed fee, with the 31-year-old set to sign a three-year contract.
Dante has fallen out of favour with Bayern coach Pep Guardiola due to a lack of pace and the Brazilian, whose full name is Dante Bonfim Costa Santos, has found himself on the bench for Bayern’s three league games this season.
He made his first Bundesliga appearance of the 2015/16 campaign by playing the last 17 minutes of Bayern’s 3-0 home win over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, which has proved to be his farewell.
“Dante simply wanted the chance to play regularly and we didn’t want to hinder his wish,” explained Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in a statement.
