The Italy international arrived in Germany last summer and helped fire Bayern Munich to a league and cup double, but insists he has "unfinished business" in his homeland.

He told Zeit newspaper: "I think I will end my career in Italy. I am stuck on 99 goals in Italy and I would like to reach 100 in Serie A, but there is still a lot of time."

Any decision to leave will be difficult for the 31-year-old, however, who has been impressed by his new home.

"I was so ignorant that I thought everybody outside of Italy would live like in Italy," he added.

"Everything is so perfect in Munich: it is clean and safe. I wish my home city of Modena could have such high standards of safety."
