Hertha BSC Berlin's Colombia striker Adrián Ramos will join Borussia Dortmund in the summer for a reported fee of €10m.
The 28-year-old is the third-most prolific marksman in this season's Bundesliga with 16 goals, and has scored a total of 58 in 154 top-flight outings for Hertha. He equalised when the capital side won 2-1 at the BVB Stadion Dortmund in December.
Formerly of CD América and Club Independiente Santa Fé in his homeland, Ramos has agreed a deal until summer 2018, with Dortmund sporting director Micheal Zorc saying: "Adrián Ramos is an outstanding footballer and one of the top scorers in Germany. He perfectly fits the BVB profile."
Second in the table, three points clear of third-ranked FC Schalke 04, Dortmund are focusing once more on qualifying for next term's UEFA Champions League following their quarter-final elimination by Real Madrid CF.
