Gamba Osaka's starlet Takashi Usami has announced this morning to the Japanese press that his move to Bayern Munich is official.
The two clubs have agreed on a loan, thus for the moment the 19-year-old Japan international will remain the property of the J-League club.
Usami's involvement in Sunday's 5-3 win over Sanfrecce Hiroshima may have been his last game for Gamba, although no official announcement was given nor the traditional "sayonara" ceremony after the match.
The player will talk about the details of the transfer at an official press conference on Monday evening.
Usami is a product of the Gamba Osaka youth system and has been playing with the top team since the age of 17.
During the 2011 J-League season, he has so far played in 11 games, scoring two goals.
In recent months he has been linked with several other big European clubs, including Inter and Manchester City.
