Bayern Munich have reportedly accepted a £15.1m offer from Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund for Austrian international, Marcel Sabitzer.
The former RB Leipzig is set to join his third side in the Bundesliga, after Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have agreed a £15.1m deal.
Sabitzer has fallen out-of-favour at the Allianz Arena over recent years, as he was sent on loan to Manchester United last season – having a successful campaign in England.
The 29-year-old made 18 appearances during his time in Manchester, helping the Red Devils to Carabao Cup success and even scored twice in the Europa League quarter-final.
Despite this, Erik ten Hag was unwilling to make the Austrian’s move permanent and Sabitzer returned to Munich for pre-season.
Thomas Tuchel has made his intentions of a summer clear-out very apparent and Sabitzer is the first of many to leave the club.

The Bavarians are keen to sign a list of players in this current transfer window, as the German side endured a strange 2022-23 campaign.
Bayern Munich clinched their 11th consecutive league title on the final day of the Bundesliga season and maintained their throne in Germany.
Borussia Dortmund were one win away from clinching the trophy, however, a 2-2 draw with Mainz 05 on the final day ended any dream of winning the league title once again.
Despite this, Thomas Tuchel will look back on the campaign with disappointment as his side were eliminated from the Champions League and DFB Pokal in emphatic fashion.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager was appointed earlier this year after Julian Nagelsmann’s surprise departure and Tuchel was unable to turn things around.
Sabitzer has two-years remaining on his deal in Munich, meaning the fee of £15.1m was the lowest fee the club would accept this summer.
