Real Madrid have signed David Alaba from Bayern Munich on a five-year contract.
Real Madrid confirmed the signing on Friday evening and said Alaba would be unveiled after Euro 2020.
Alaba had been at Bayern since 2008 but turned down multiple offers to extend his contract, including a €15m-a-year deal, but talks ceased in November.
He enjoyed a prolific 13 years in Bavaria, winning 10 Bundesliga titles, two Champions Leagues and six German Cups.
The Austria international had also been attracting interest from Premier League sides, including Liverpool and Manchester City.
City tried to lure Alaba to Manchester last summer and had hoped to include him as part of the deal which saw Leroy Sane move to Munich.
Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus were also understood to be keen on signing the 28-year-old.
