Terrier, who will train with head coach Xabi Alonso's team for the first time on Friday, commented: "It's been my wish to move to a big club abroad in Europe after seven years as a professional in France. The fact I now get to show my skills with the German double winners is magnificent and a special motivation for me. Bayer 04 also made headlines in France with their achievements last season. It's fantastic to be a part of this team from now on."
