Man City to make Real Madrid swoop for Toni Kroos

 

Manchester City will swoop for a timeless Real Madrid star Toni Kroos in a move which will gladden the heart of Pep Guardiola.

Despite their squad being one of the most stacked in world football, City are always looking to strengthen. And their Spanish manager often has a player in mind who would be an ideal fit. After all, he’s managed in Spain, Germany and now England.

Guardiola’s path has therefore crossed with many top talents, and now one is on his radar as a transfer target.

That’s according to El Nacional, who report Guardiola is hoping to lure Real midfielder Toni Kroos to Manchester.

Kroos, 31, has been a regular fixture for the Spanish club and the German national team for a number of years.

However, his position in Madrid is now in doubt because of the emergence of the new generation of stars.

The duo of Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga are seen as the future of the Los Blancos midfield. At 23 and 18 years old respectively, they hold massive potential.

Kroos, in contrast, has less than two years left on his contract. And there’s concerns that his opportunities may grow more limited as time passes.

As such, he is choosing to bide his time over his future. The report says he will not make any decisions until the start of 2022.

That will give him enough time to see how valuable manager Carlo Ancelotti sees him.

Up until recently he has not been able to discover this. That’s because since Euro 2020 he has been absent through injury.

Kroos made his return in the recent shock Champions League defeat to Sheriff Tiraspol. He has started the two following games.
