Twente chairman Joop Munsterman admitted they could not stand in Braafheid's way which such a dream move on offer.
Munsterman told the club's official website: "It's very special when a player of FC Twente makes a transfer to such a big foreign club.
"If I could wish it for any player, it was Edson. He was also very positive and has developed himself into a Dutch national team player.
"From the beginning it was clear he could choose to play for FC Twente or a big foreign team. It is Bayern Munich and we wish him all the luck."
