Bayern sign 2006 World Cup top scorer Klose(Reuters)Updated: 2007-06-27 08:45 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.
