Daley Blind has signed a contract with Bayern Munich.

Blind accepted the termination of his contract with Ajax Amsterdam in December, six months before the deadline, and if all goes well, he will sign with the German champions until the end of the season, according to The Athletic.

A key player for the Netherlands at the World Cup in Qatar, Blind helped Louis van Gaal’s side reach the quarter-finals of the competition, where they were knocked out by Argentina on penalties.

Daley Blind, 32, arrives at Bayern as a compromise solution following the injury to French defender Lucas Hernandez. He left the field after just 9 minutes in France’s 2022 World Cup opener against Australia, underwent surgery and was ruled out for an extended period of time.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side lead the Bundesliga, four points ahead of Freiburg after 15 matches.
