Mario Gomez to join Fiorentina-Bayern

The reigning German and European club champions-Bayern Munich have confirmed that Mario Gomez is on his way to Fiorentina of Italy. The German striker was one of the top scorers in Europe two seasons ago, but his form seems to have dropped over the past 12 months.

The impending arrival of Robert Lewandowski is another reason why Gomez will leave the Bavarians. Jurgen Klopp has disclosed that Lewandowski will join the German champions this summer.

Borussia Dortmund have agreed a deal to sign Henrikh Mhiktaryan from Spartak Moscow of Russia.
