Manchester City is rumored to be offering a two-year contract to Real Madrid’s veteran midfielder, Toni Kroos, as part of their expected pursuit of new players for the central midfield positions in the upcoming season. With Kevin De Bruyne entering the final year of his contract and uncertainty surrounding other midfield players like Bernardo Silva and Kalvin Phillips, City is looking for a capable back-up or complement for Rodri.
Although Real Madrid does not anticipate Kroos leaving this summer, City and Pep Guardiola are reportedly keen on bringing the experienced midfielder to the Etihad Stadium. Despite being 34 years old, Kroos has had a successful season with notable performances in La Liga, scoring one goal and providing seven assists as Real Madrid secured the league title.
Having faced Kroos and Real Madrid in previous seasons, City is familiar with his talents and is reportedly willing to offer him a €30 million contract to join the team. Guardiola sees Kroos as a valuable addition to the squad, and City’s pursuit of the midfielder is a notable development in their efforts to strengthen the team for the upcoming season.
