Ribery, 24, signed for Bayern on Thursday from French side Marseille, less than 24 hours after master-minding France's 1-0 Euro 2008 qualifier win over Georgia in Paris on Wednesday night, and 30-year-old World Cup winner Toni joined from Fiorentina.

Since German captain Michael Ballack moved to Chelsea last summer, Bayern struggled in midfield last season, enduring their worst season for ten years, and as one of the world's best attacking midfielders, Ribery will fill the role.

The Frenchman is looking forward to bringing some glory back to his new club having signed a four-year deal with the German giants.

"Bayern are an ambitious, serious and a very well-structured club whose senior figures made a lot of effort to recruit me," said Ribery, whose transfer is estimated to be 25 million euros, which would make him the most expensive player in Bayern's history.

"In the last year I have competed in some big finals - the World Cup final, the French Cup final - and lost them. But I have come here to earn titles, because that is what means something in every player's career."

Having finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season, Bayern will be in the UEFA Cup next season for the first time in ten years and Ribery revealed he turned down Real Madrid - and the Champions League - to come to Bayern.

"Real Madrid wanted me to join," said Ribery.

"It certainly gave me food for thought, especially as Bayern won't play in the Champions League next season.

"But when a big club like Bayern comes to see you, it is really something. "They had a difficult season, but this club have often been champions.

"The most important thing is that they will bounce back and the club have made a huge effort to recruit big players."

And Toni, who won the European Golden Boot in the 2005-06 season after scoring 31 goals for Fiorentina, echoed Ribery's sentiments - he has come to Bayern to bring back the glory and win titles.

"Bayern is one of the most famous teams in the world and their directors made it clear they wanted me as part of their plans for next season," said Toni, whose transfer deal is believed to be worth 11 million euro.

"I wanted a new challenge and to get some experience outside Italy.

"Bayern is a club which has plans for a big future and that is what attracted me.

"It's true they won't play in the Champions League next season, but they clearly have ambition to get back their glory days and we will start with the Bundesliga and UEFA Cup next season."

Ribery added Bayern's French defender Willy Sagnol had been a big factor in helping lure him to Munich and the pair had discussions during last year's World Cup finals in Germany about a possible switch.

"During the World Cup, we spoke a lot about Bayern and he only told me good things," said Ribery.

"When I told him I was coming, he told me I had made the right choice.

"Bayern are a serious club and I got the support from several players in the French team, as well as the coach Raymond Domenech.

"He did not hesitate and said to me I would do well there.

"I am looking forward to playing in the Bundesliga, where there are a lot of personal duels and midfield battles."

Toni and Ribery join striker Jan Schlaudraff, midfielders Hamit Altintop and Ernesto Sosa and defender Marcell Jansen as confirmed new arrivals at Bayern this summer.

Brazilian winger Zé Roberto is set to agree a return, while German striker Miroslav Klose has confirmed his intention to join them from Werder Bremen by the summer of 2008 at the latest.
