Milan make Toni call
Wednesday 27 May, 2009

Milan's links with Bayern Munich striker Luca Toni are intensifying after a phone call between Ariedo Braida and the Azzurri striker.

Toni has enjoyed a successful spell in the Bundesliga since leaving Fiorentina in the summer of 2007.

But the 32-year-old has always admitted that he would welcome a return to his homeland when the right opportunity presents itself.

That opportunity may be a move to Milan this summer as the Rossoneri look to strengthen for their return to the Champions League.

The Diavolo came within a whisker of signing Toni when he joined Bayern and are still keen to have him on board.

According to the Italian Press, Milan transfer guru Braida spoke to Toni at length yesterday to discuss a possible transfer to San Siro.

Toni's position at Bayern has been somewhat compromised by the arrival of German international Mario Gomez, who is a similar player to the giant ex-Modena man.

With a summer of changes expected at Milan, Toni could be the first signing of the post-Carlo Ancelotti era.

However, Toni has also been linked with Juventus, who are preparing for the departure of David Trezeguet.
