VIDEO: Matthijs de Ligt's first words as a Bayern player

Bayern Munich announced the signing of Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt on a five-year deal on Tuesday. The Dutch defender came at a cost of 70 million euros plus another 10 in add-ons.

His arrival follows that of Sadio Mane from Liverpool as Bayern embark on their new post Lewandowski-era. "Matthijs de Ligt was a top target for us. With signings like this, the big aims that we have are achievable. The future face of our team is increasingly taking shape," said Bayern president Herbert Heiner.
