The defender lost his place to Mehdi Benatia last season and has opted to move to the Bavarians' Bundesliga rival in search of regular football.
Bayern Munich has confirmed Dante is set to leave the club and join Bundesliga rival Wolfsburg.
There was speculation last week that the center back could depart after he missed a club photo shoot, only for his agent to deny the claims.
However, his situation has changed over the weekend, with Bayern confirming his departure in the coming days and CEO Karl-Heinz Rummennigge citing Dante's desire for first team football as the reason for his exit.
