Felix Gotze, 16, has become the last of the three Gotze brothers to leave Dortmund.

"He has joined us, that's right," Bayern's head of youth Michael Tarnat told Sport Bild.

Gotze will play for Bayern's under-17 team, which is currently coached by Heiko Herrlich, a member of Dortmund's 1997 Champions League-winning team alongside Bayern sporting executive Matthias Sammer.

Germany World Cup final hero Mario Gotze, 22, joined Bayern in a 37 million euros transfer in 2013, while 24-year-old Fabian left Borussia in 2010 but stayed in the Dortmund region and played for VfL Bochum reserves for a number of years.

In 2013, Fabian Gotze joined Munch third league side SpVgg Unterhaching, where he plays alongside Mats Hummels' younger brother Jonas.

Mario and Fabian Gotze share a flat in Munich city centre.
