Tiago Dantas' transfer was a special request from Hansi Flick. Flick has been watching the player for years. The first contact was through José Boto, former head scout of Benfica. Flick was working at the DFB back then and the contact never broke [ @Plettigoal, @SPORT1]

Dantas is currently playing with the second team as he can only be registered for the Bundesliga and CL in January. The player is very impressed by the level of training. He feels welcome at the club, and can feel the trust that Flick has placed in him [ @Plettigoal]

Dantas is diligently learning German. He sits next to Thomas Müller in the dressing room. Müller is supposed to take care of Tiago's integration. He even was one of the first players to ask him about his first impressions after his debut for FCB II against Kaiserslautern
Tiago Dantas still has an ongoing contract at Benfica until 2024 and a release clause of 88 million euros. However Bayern have secured an option to buy of just €7.5m [ @Plettigoal]
