Toni excited by Juve challenge

by Admin , 07 January 2011

Luca Toni is delighted to complete his move to Juventus and is looking forward to achieving success with The Old Lady.


The much-travelled striker joined Genoa at the start of the season but has lasted just four months before moving to Turin on a free transfer.

The 33-year-old has never really settled at any of his clubs, having had short spells at Vicenza, Brescia, Palermo and Fiorentina before spending three seasons in Germany with Bayern Munich.

He spent time on loan with Roma last year before making the move to Genoa but has now thrown his lot in with Juve, with an 18-month contract.

The Italian international forward is relishing the chance to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world and admitted that he took a pay cut to play for Luigi Del Neri's side.

"I'm really happy," he said. "It's a dream come true. I put myself at the disposal of the coach and want to help. I really wanted this team, I gave up money to accept a move here.

"I want to show my value and score goals, as I have always done.

"When they proposed the possibility I was excited.

"I know this squad and their desire to win."
