Transfer surprise! 6/9/2011.

Miroslav Klose is close to the hearts of many soccer fans. His performances for the German national team and Bavarian and German club giants Bayern Munchen have brought him much international acclaim. However, the 33 year old striker is moving on next season: to Italy! That's right, after contract negotiations failed between the player and Bayern, he has decided to go to Italian Serie A side Lazio! Offers on the table also included bids from Turkish giants Galatasaray and Spanish title-contenders Valencia but Klose decided on Lazio, who finished 5th last season. (meaning they will be playing in the Europa League) Best of luck to Miroslav Klose in Italy!
