#4 Miroslav Klose: Bayern Munich to Lazio

Klose became Lazio's joint-highest all-time non-Italian scorer

Bayern Munich were mistaken when they thought that the German legend was past his prime and decided against renewing Klose's contract. Their fault was Lazio's gain when the club signed the German in 2011 on a three-year contract.

During his stint, the 33-year-old featured in 170 matches and managed 63 goals. He became the linchpin of The Eagles and also won them the Coppa Italia title in 2012-13 after beating the club's rivals, Roma, in the final.

Klose hanged up his boots in 2016 after becoming club's joint-highest non-Italian goalscorer of all-time.
