Reading defender Omar Richards has signed a four-year deal with Bayern Munich via a pre-contract agreement, according to reports.
The 23-year-old is one of the most highly-rated youngsters in the Championship this season having impressed for the Royals in both a defence and a wide-midfield role.
Richards' performances have been crucial in Reading's Premier League promotion bid with the Berkshire side lying fifth in the table with 13 games left to play.
But according to Sky Sports Germany, Richards will play his football in the Bundesliga next season having completed a medical for the German and European champions in the UK.
