The 28-year-old, the top-scorer at last year's World Cup, has long been a Bayern target and Munich's daily newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung quoted "a reliable source" who confirmed it was a done deal.

Klose got into hot water last week when he met with Bayern officials in a Hanover hotel, a move which forced the veteran international to apologise to the club and their fans.

Bremen's bosses have repeatedly insisted they will only allow Klose to switch to Bayern when his contract expires in 2008.

But according to Suddeutsche Zeitung, Bayern, who could sign Klose on a free transfer next year, want to force Bremen's hand by offering 15 million for the striker who has scored 33 goals in 67 internationals.

The same paper reported the transfer to Bayern of Italian international Luca Toni, under contract at Fiorentina, has also been finalised.

Italian sports paper the Gazzetta dello Sports announced on Saturday Toni has agreed terms with Bayern for a contract giving him 5.5 million euro a year.

The agent of the World Cup winning striker insists "nothing has been finalised".
