Luca Toni snapped up by Bayern

Italian international, Luca Toni, 30, has agreed a four year deal with Bayern.

Bayern president, Karl Heinz Rummenigge, said, "We have finalised an agreement with Toni, He will sign a contract until June 30, 2011. On June 8 he will be in Munich for his medical and he will then be officially unveiled to the Press. The transfer fee is £7.8m.”

Bayern’s swoop is impressive given that they haven’t qualified for next season’s Champions League. The former Palermo and Brescia ace, who will allegedly earn £4m per season, was crowned as the 2005-06 Serie A top scorer with 31 goals.

Toni was also a reported target for Inter, Chelsea and Juventus.
