Toni Kroos’ future at Real Madrid is not clear. And while the competition for the Qatar 2022 World Cup is underway, Florentino Perez and the white officials are studying the steps to follow with the German midfielder, who will turn 33 in January
The German striker has a contract until June 2023. And Real Madrid’s leadership is clear on that. They will offer Kroos a renewal, but within the limits of Real Madrid’s strategy and salary scale. In other words, they will do with the midfielder what they do with Luka Modric or what they want to do with Sergio Ramos
Specifically, the president intends to renew it year after year according to its performance. And the truth is, this is going to go from more to less in the past months. That’s why Florentino will offer the same contract he currently has. No salary increases. And for one year only. The maximum he would put on the table for now is a renewal through 2024
Kroos, for his part, is very comfortable in Madrid. This is what he confirmed to the media before facing Real Madrid and Glasgow Celtic in the Champions League. “I am very well, I feel good physically. I am very calm about the renewal. I don’t even know what will happen. I’ll retire here, what I don’t know is when. There is nothing new,” the German commented
However, a good offer with more years of contract than Real Madrid offers could be enough reason for Kroos to betray Florentino Perez and Real Madrid. And in Manchester he could get that chance
Kroos is an old acquaintance of Pep Guardiola. It spilled onto the field of play when they were sharing a dressing room at Bayern Munich. I would very much like to see him join Manchester City next season. So much so that there is already talk in England of a proposal of €20m net per season for the next three years. In other words, he will secure 60 million euros and go on to go on for three seasons at the top of world football
