Pepe Reina has completed his transfer from Liverpool to Bayern Munich.
The Spain international goalkeeper, who spent last season on loan at Napoli, has signed a three-year deal with the German champions.
He will provide back-up to Germany international Manuel Neuer at the Allianz Arena.
Reina, who will turn 32 at the end of August, was a regular at Liverpool for eight seasons before Brendan Rodgers signed Belgium's Simon Mignolet from Sunderland last summer.
Rodgers has Brad Jones as cover and sanctioned Reina's temporary move to Napoli last season.
Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed Reina’s keenness to join the Bundesliga side earlier in the week.
Rummenigge said: "He was eager to come to Bayern Munich. He wanted to embark on this adventure even though he knows that, in Manuel Neuer, he has a keeper in front of him who, if nothing changes, will always remain the number one."
