The French full-back has joined the German side after just a few days of conversations between the two parties after the Bavarians' attempts to sign Trippier were shut down by the Magpies, who wanted to keep the 33-year-old at the club despite their issues with the Profitability and Sustainability rules limit.

Talking on the social media of the German side, Boey sent a message to Bayern fans: "Servus, FC Bayern fans. I hope to see you soon at the Allianz Arena. See you soon!
"This is a dream come true for me. It’s an honour for me to get to play for such a big club like Bayern. I’m really looking forward to my new team and getting to play with all these great players in the future. As a player, I’m a defender who likes to attack, just as happy being involved upfront as in defence."
