Xabi Alonso has arrived in Munich, Germany for a medical ahead of his £5million move from Real Madrid to Bayern Munich.
The former Spain international was greeted by the Bundesliga champion's team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt at his office to undergo tests
The ex-Liverpool midfielder had been linked with a move to Manchester United after five years at the Bernabeu, but opted to join Pep Guardiola's side
The deal sees the German champions act after injuries to midfielders Thiago Alcantara, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez.
Sporting director Matthias Sammer believes Alonso will give Bayern new options, saying: "If that will work, I would have a very good feeling for the club and the coach.
"After the injuries of Thiago and Schweinsteiger we have been looking for someone, who could help us immediately. And Xabi Alonso could play on top level for two years."
And chairman Jan-Christian Dressen revealed his side are now finalising the details with fellow European giants Real.
"We have an agreement with Xabi Alonso. And we hope to find an agreement with Real Madrid in the next one or two days," he said.
"We are not talking about a loan this would be a permanent signing."
