Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos is being offered around Europe amid links with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The representatives of Toni Kroos have made it clear that he wants to play in the Premier League in 2024.
That is according to reporter Paul Brown, who has spoken about Kroos whilst talking to Give Me Sport.
Jude Bellingham is taking over at Real Madrid, becoming an absolute sensation in Carlo Ancelotti’s midfield.
That means some Real midfielders may be phased out in the near future – including World Cup winner Kroos.
Tottenham Hotspur target Toni Kroos offered around Europe
Kroos is out of contract at the end of the season and may well be tempted to leave the club.
The 33-year-old has been with Real since 2014 but may move on once he hits 10 years in Madrid.
A World Cup winner and four-time Champions League winner, Kroos is a legend of the game and would attract interest even in the later years of his career.
The Sun reported just days ago that Tottenham Hotspur are leading the race to sign Kroos on a free transfer in 2024.
Reporter Paul Brown now suggests that Kroos is being offered to ‘various clubs’ in Europe ahead of a potential deal.
Brown claims that the midfielder’s representatives have made it clear that Kroos fancies playing in the Premier League – but nobody has made a move just yet.
Brown adds that Kroos could yet sign a new deal and stay in Madrid, potentially leaving Premier League clubs disappointed.
“Toni Kroos is clearly being offered around to various clubs in Europe. His representatives have let it be known that he quite fancies playing in the Premier League, and that’s attracted a lot of interest,” said Brown.
“Nobody has firmed that up as yet, but he is a player who lots of clubs in the Premier League have coveted and tried to sign before. He is now 33 and not playing the kind of key role that he was for Real Madrid. His contract is coming to an end, so I think this is why there are stories.”
“I don’t think he has made his mind up yet about what to do in the future. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he still decided to sign a new deal, if he is offered one, and stay at Real Madrid. He is playing games for them,” he added.
My view: Kroos to Tottenham would be a surprise
We just still really can’t see Kroos making a move to North London in 2024.
Tottenham have found a really impressive number six in midfield with Yves Bissouma stepping up under Ange Postecoglou this season.
Bissouma’s added mobility has made him favourable over Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and seeing Tottenham sign Kroos just wouldn’t add up.
Tottenham’s recruitment has centred around young players with potential and committing big money to Kroos would be out of character.
Maybe Postecoglou feels that Kroos can bring experience and a winning mentality to Spurs, but this move just wouldn’t fit what Spurs have been doing.
