Reports | Manchester United to make €75 million bid for Toni Kroos
Manchester United are looking to make a move for Toni Kroos with a €75 million bid for the Real Madrid star. The 29-year-old was offered as a part of a rumoured swap deal for Paul Pogba but while that deal never materialized, the Red Devils are still keen on a move for the World Cup winner.
German news outlet BILD has reported that Manchester United are keen on a move for Real Madrid star Toni Kroos, with the Red Devils set to offer around 75 million for the German. The German was linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu last summer, as a part of a mass exodus, but that move never materialized. Instead, with no new midfielders joining the club, the Los Blancos opted to keep the German playmaker, who has found a new lease of life under Zidane.
That could change in the near future with BILD reporting that Manchester United are keen on a move for Kroos, with reports further adding that Paul Pogba could be made a part of a potential swap deal. The Frenchman was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, and given the fact that he is Zidane’s top target, BILD reports that Real Madrid are considering the move.
That would see the two midfielders switch sides, although given Kroos’ €75 million valuation the move would prove problematic, with the Red Devils valuing Pogba at around £140 million. However, with Manchester United also unwilling to sell Pogba, it could put a halt to any move for the 29-year-old Toni Kroos.
