BERLIN (AFP) - French midfielder Franck Ribery will join Bayern Munich this summer, a source close to the club revealed on Friday, in a deal believed to be worth 15 millions euros (20 million US dollars).
The attacking midfielder, 24, will switch from Olympique Marseille to the German giants and the holder of 16 caps earned his reputation as one of the star performers at last year's World Cup, when the French made the final.
With the nine million euros transfer of German international defender Marcell Jansen from Borussia Moenchengladbach confirmed on Friday, the club will have splashed out 24 million euros (32 million US dollars) to bolster their squad.
After Bayern finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season, their worst performance for more than ten years, coach Ottmar Hitzfeld has promised sweeping changes in a bid to bring success back to the German giants.

Marseille star Franck Ribery claims his future will become clearer by the end of next week.
The French playmaker has been the subject of intense speculation for many months, with a host of Europe's top clubs keen on his services.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and Milan have all been credited with an interest in Ribery in the past.
But after Marseille qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League, Ribery's departure could be delayed for a further 12 months.
The 24-year-old is expected to decide where his future lies soon, with a decision possibly coming sometime next week.
"At the end of next week, we should know much more about my future," Ribery said in L'Equipe.
"It is possible that I stay at l'OM, with the prospect of playing in the Champions League. That can attract me."
