Manchester City Contemplating Surprise Bid for Real Madrid Star in the Upcoming Summer
Toni Kroos Defying Age at Real Madrid as Manchester City Eyes Reunion with Guardiola
This season, Toni Kroos has been making a compelling case that age is indeed just a number. The 33-year-old midfielder has consistently displayed outstanding form for Real Madrid, a trend that has persisted for several years.
Kroos has carved his way into Carlo Ancelotti’s regular starting lineup in recent weeks, even though younger alternatives like Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga were favored in the early stages of the season.
However, this season could potentially mark Kroos’ final campaign in a Real Madrid jersey. With his contract set to expire next summer, reports from The Hard Tackle (via MD) suggest that Pep Guardiola is keen on signing him for Manchester City.
Guardiola previously coached Kroos during their time at Bayern Munich in the 2013-14 season before Kroos made his move to Real Madrid. The former Barcelona manager is eager for a reunion, and it seems Manchester City is ready to offer Kroos a substantial €15 million-per-season contract.
The potential challenge for Manchester City is that Kroos has expressed his desire to finish his career at Real Madrid. Persuading him to make the move next summer could prove to be a daunting task.
