The Austrian international has opted to cross to Bayern's bitter Black and Yellow rivals.
Immediate former Manchester United loanee Marcel Sabitzer has been acquired by Borussia Dortmund from arch-rivals Bayern Munich in a deal worth €19m.
Sabitzer underwent his medical tests on Monday and has put pen to paper on a four-year contract with Borussia Dortmund.
The 29-year-old will now head to BVB’s training camp in the United States to link up with his new teammates. He becomes Borussia Dortmund’s third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Ramy Bensebaini and Felix Nmecha.
The Austrian international was acquired by Erik ten Hag in January to serve as Christian Eriksen’s injured replacement after he sustained an ankle injury that would keep him out for three months.

FOOTBALL Leading Premier League figure accused of raping two different teenage girls
He has been accused of two separate rape cases on teenage girls, with one of the alleged victim 15-years old at the time of the encounter.
He would find it difficult to establish himself in Bayern’s starting lineup, appearing in just 54 games before being sent out to United in January.
Dortmund were looking to bolster their midfield ranks following the departures of Jude Bellingham, Mahmoud Dahoud, and Raphael Guerreiro. And in Sabitzer, they get a proven midfielder with plenty of Bundesliga experience.

FOOTBALL Mikel Arteta hints Declan Rice may take time to settle at Arsenal
Rice made his full unofficial debut in a pre-season friendly match against Manchester United before being subbed off after 60 minutes.
He never really managed to fit in at Bayern and spent the second half of last season on loan at Manchester United. And after showing glimpses of his quality in the English Premier League, he will now hope for a fresh start at Dortmund.
Sabitzer has made a total of 185 appearances in the Bundesliga, scoring 34 goals and assisting a further 29. He is primarily a central midfielder but is also capable of playing further forward and out wide.
