REUTERS: Portuguese champions Benfica have agreed a deal with Borussia Dortmund to sign German midfielder Julian Weigl for 20 million euros , the clubs announced on Tuesday.
Weigl, 24, had been a permanent fixture in Dortmund's midfield since his move from 1860 Munich in 2015, making 171 appearances for the club and winning the DFB Pokal in 2016-17 and the German Super Cup earlier this season."Julian approached us with this wish and we agreed – also because of his service to the club," Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said in a statement https://www.bvb.de/eng/News/Overview/Julian-Weigl-moves-to-Portugal.
Dortmund said the deal is subject to a successful medical exam, with Weigl expected to sign a contract in the coming days. Benfica lead the Portuguese league standings with 39 points from 14 matches - four points ahead of second-placed Porto - and next play away at Vitoria Guimaraes on Saturday.
