Toni Underlines Bayern Loyalty

Italian goal-machine Luca Toni has once again moved to assure the Bayern Munich faithful that he has absolutely no intention of leaving the club.

The 30-year-old-summer signing from Fiorentina has enjoyed an amazing first season in the Bundesliga which has seen him score more goals in a debut season than any other striker in the club’s history. There has inevitably been rumours tipping the 39-goal man for a quick return to Italy, with Milan being a constant focal point of the speculation.

“Next year I will remain at Bayern,” insisted Toni.

"I will be able to play in the Champions League and I hope I can help the team have a starring role in the competition.

"I am very happy in Munich."

Toni did, however, repeat his desire to return to Italy down the road to end of his playing career.

"I would like to return because I have scored 91 goals in Serie A and I would like to reach the 100-goal landmark before the end of my career," he said.

"But considering that I want to play for many years still, that will only happen later on."
