Borowski joins Bayern

Tim Borowski has joined Bayern Munich from Bundesliga rivals Werder Bremen. The midfielder has joined claiming money played no part in his decision to join the Championship rivals.

The 27-year-old will move to the Allianz Arena in the summer, having spent the whole of his career to date with Werder.

However, Borowski says that a new challenge is what he is really looking for with Bayern, not the lure of a big-money contract.

He told reporters: "It's not a question of money, but one of a new sporting challenge.

"I made my decision early so that I could be open and honest about the whole situation.

"I didn't want to lie or be hypocritical, but I expect there will be some people who won't understand me."
