MUNICH, Germany (AFP) - Bayern Munich have signed Italian World Cup winner Luca Toni from AC Fiorentina in a deal worth 18 million euros, it was reported on Saturday.
The 29-year-old striker, who has scored 12 goals in 27 internationals, has signed a five-contract and will reportedly earn 5.5 million euros per season according to German magazine Sport-Bild.
The forward is believed to have made his decision on Friday evening and chosen the German giants over European rivals AC Milan, Juventus Turin and Inter Milan, who were also bidding for his signature.
Having been part of Italy's 2006 World Cup squad, Toni scored two goals in the quarter-finals win over the Ukraine and scored both goals in Italy's 2-0 victoey against Scotland in last month's Euro 2008 Qualifier.
Fourth-placed Bayern are also courting German international Miroslav Klose, from their Bundesliga rivals Werder Bremen, and last week met with the 67-times capped striker, who has scored 33 goals for his country.

This is somehow true, but is not only true for Italy. Spanish palyers never played abroad until few years ago. In fact Italian players left their country before the Spanish did. Remember Zola, Di Canio, Di Mateo, Simeone, Carbone ....

Even Materazzi had a season with Everton, and we all know Gattuso played for Rangers as well.
Gianluca Vialli as well, but most of these guys were either unknowns or wanted to have a final fling with football in their 30s by playing in England.

True, but 95% of spanish players are crap! Spain never won any major tournament, did they?
