MUNICH, June 26 - Bayern Munich signed striker Miroslav Klose from
Bundesliga rivals Werder Bremen on Tuesday, taking their close-season
spending spree to around 70 million euros ($94.22 million).
Klose, top scorer at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, will take part in his
first training session as a Bayern player on Friday, the club said in a
statement.
The 29-year-old Germany striker joins for an undisclosed fee after Werder
agreed to sell him with a year left on his contract.
Klose is Bayern's eighth major close-season signing after they finished
fourth in the table last term, missing out on a place in the Champions
League.
The other new arrivals are Luca Toni, Franck Ribery, Ze Roberto, Jose
Ernesto Sosa, Marcell Jansen, Jan Schlaudraff and Hamit Altintop.
Bayern spent around 60 million euros to bring in those seven players.
While details of the deal with Werder were not disclosed, the club had
said they were prepared to pay around 10 million euros for Klose.
