Pranjic, 27, featured high on new Bayern coach Louis van Gaal's wish list and is expected to put pen to paper early next week, subject to a medical.

"What can I say other than I am delighted," Pranjic told Bild.

"We are talking about a huge club. I will give my best to pay back the faith of van Gaal."

Pranjic added: "I am already really looking forward to playing together with Ivica Olic in the future."

Olic, Pranjic's fellow Croatian, signed for Bayern from Hamburg before the end of the season.

Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness told the club's official website: "We have agreed with the player but the negotiations with the club are ongoing so we cannot confirm the transfer 100 per cent yet."
