Germany left back Nathaniel Brown has completed his move from Eintracht Frankfurt to Bayern Munich, the German record champions said on Friday.
The 23-year-old has signed a contract until June 30, 2031.
The transfer was finalized just days after Germany's early exit at the World Cup following a surprise round of 32 defeat to Paraguay on Monday.
Brown, who only broke into the Germany team this last season, returned to the starting line-up for the loss after missing the final group defeat against Ecuador with an adductor injury. He impressed in the earlier group stage wins over Curaçao and Ivory Coast.

On Wednesday, Bayern also signed Morocco World Cup forward Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven.
The Bundesliga clubs did not comment on the financial details of Brown's move. Media reports say the transfer package is around €55 million ($63 million). Frankfurt are said to have initially demanded more than €60 million.
