Stuttgart have accepted Bayern's offer for the Germany forward, who has been on the Bavarians' shortlist for some time.

"I’m looking forward to joining Bayern Munich," Gomez was quoted as saying by Bayern's official site on Tuesday.

"Bayern is something special. I want to go all-out with this club in the league next season, and I’m really looking forward to playing in the Champions League."

No further details were disclosed, but a record fee of £26million was reported.

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was left delighted with the pending move.

"Bayern Munich FC are very happy that Mario Gomez has decided in favor of our club," he said.

Gomez, 23, notched 24 Bundesliga goals to help Stuttgart finish third in the league this season.
