Bayern Munich signs Japanese defender Hiroki Ito, from Stuttgart

This Thursday, Bayern Munich announced Japanese defender Hiroki Ito, who was at Stuttgart and has signed a contract until 2028 with the Bavarian club. The total value of the transaction was 30 million euros (around R$174 million at current prices), according to the German press.

Ito arrived at Stuttgart in 2021 and, since then, has become one of the defensive pillars of the team, which finished the last edition of the German Championship in second place and qualified for the next Champions League, ahead of the Munich team itself.

The 25-year-old Japanese national team player arrives at Bayern to fight for position in a squad full of defenders, with Frenchman Dayot Upamecano, Dutchman Matthijs de Ligt, South Korean Kim Min-jae and Englishman Eric Dier.
