The midfielder will now travel to Switzerland to meet up with his teammates.

Witsel caught the club's eye after impressive performances at the World Cup.

There was some uncertainty around the move, after Tianjin Quanjian said that Witsel's release clause was invalid due to the closure of the transfer window in China.

However, Borussia Dortmund were able to get their man, making him their seventh signing of the summer.

Witsel could make his debut in Dortmund's pre-season friendly against Napoli on Tuesday.
