Dutch striker Roy Makaay has completed his move to Bayern Munich, the German champions announced today.

Bayern said Makaay was now their player after the last details had been cleared with Deportivo Coruna.

The four-times European champions had said on Monday that Makaay, last season's top joint scorer in the Spanish first division with 29 goals, would be joining them on a four-year deal.

But the move was held up when it later emerged that the two clubs were still fighting over the transfer fee.

The 28-year-old, whose four goals against Bayern in the Champions League last season helped eliminate the German club, has 23 international caps and has scored twice for his country.
