Italian striker Luca Toni has pledged his future to Bayern Munich, following rumours of a possible return to his homeland.

The 32-year-old faces increased competition for places following the arrivals of Ivica Olic and Mario Gomez, but Toni is content to stay put.

He told Bild: "I feel very happy in Munich. Bayern have everything that I want at the moment - excellent prospects for the title and a real chance to win the Champions League.

"With such a strong team we can achieve that and I promise my fans - I will stay true to Bayern. I will train even harder, give even more from my performances.

"There are always enquiries from well-known clubs and there will continue to be.

"But at the moment I still see the best chances to play top-level European football are at Bayern.

"The Bayern fans stand firmly behind me and I am an important part of a team successful in Europe. Why should I move?"
