Dante says Wolfsburg are ready to compete with his old club Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal.

Dante joined Die Wolfe from Bayern on the final day of the transfer window, having fallen down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola last season.

He joins a Wolfsburg side that finished runners-up to Bayern in the league last season as well as winning the DFB Pokal and, while the club had to replace star man Kevin De Bruyne with Julian Draxler last month, Dante is confident they will continue to challenge his former employers.

"We want to pit ourselves against Bayern for as long as possible, and try to confirm last year's performances," he told the Bundesliga's official website.
