Tottenham Hotspur, along with other interested Premier League clubs, could fail in their pursuit of Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos.
This is the opinion of journalist Paul Brown, who “wouldn’t be surprised” if the German midfielder stays at Los Blancos, even though his contract will expire next summer.
Now 33, Kroos, a back-to-back champion with Madrid, is seeing his playing time dwindle, and although he is still considered a valuable player, there is no doubt about the German’s inevitable decline – especially with the arrival of Jude Bellingham through and demonstrate their importance.
Therefore, while this season could be his last at the Santiago Bernabeu, Kroos, according to The Sun, wants to play in the Premier League before he can retire, and several clubs , including Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs, have been linked.
However, Brown does not believe the five-time Champions League winner will make the move and instead predicts he may sign a new contract.
“Toni Kroos is clearly being offered to various clubs in Europe,” he told GiveMeSport.
“His agent announced that he wanted to play in the Premier League and that attracted a lot of interest.
“No one has confirmed it, but he is a player that many Premier League clubs have wanted and tried to sign before.
“He is now 33 years old and no longer plays an important role like he did at Real Madrid.
His contract is about to end so I think that’s why there are such stories.
“I don’t think he has decided what he will 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.
” During his nine years with Real Madrid, Kroos, who lifted the 2014 World Cup with Germany, has directly contributed to 120 goals in 430 games in all competitions.
