ROME (AFP) - – Bayern Munich's out-of-favour Italian World Cup winner Luca Toni revealed Monday he is close to a move to Serie A club AS Roma.
"I only want AS Roma. Nothing else interests me," the player told Gazzetto dello Sport.
And Roma director Gian Paolo Montali added: "We're ironing out the details.
"It's clear that in business nothing is certain until the signing, but with Toni we're nearly there. With him Roma can have an extraordinarly second half of the season."
Having been in the Italian team which won the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Toni has found himself on the bench at Bayern Munich this season having lost favour with their Dutch coach Louis van Gaal.
Toni, 32, is desperate to win back his place in the Azzurri with the next World Cup to be held in South Africa from June 11 to July 11.
The top Bundesliga scorer in 2007-08, Toni has scored 30 goals in 68 German first division games.
Roma are fourth in the Serie A, eleven points behind leaders Inter Milan.
