Why Selling Dante Was the Right Move for Bayern Munich

Dante is on his way out of Bavaria after Bayern Munich agreed to a deal over the weekend to sell the Brazilian defender to Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg.

The transfer left Bayern more depleted than ever in defense, and yet it was probably the right move at the right time for the club.

The agreement was subject to a medical, with Dante set to sign a three-year contract on Monday. By signing on the dotted line, the Brazilian will have ended a three-year spell with Bayern that yielded three Bundesliga titles, two German Cups and a UEFA Champions League crown in 2012-13.
