German champions Bayern Munich signed Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven Ulreich for a three-year contract as the club's back-up behind international goalie Manuel Neuer.
Urleich, 26, will replace Spanish keeper Pepe Reina, who is about to make a move to Italy's Napoli club, according to media reports.
Ulreich passed his medical examination in Munich on Monday and arrived at the club after losing his first team place at Stuttgart.
