Serie A giants Juventus will reportedly have the chance to sign long-serving Real Madrid veteran Toni Kroos in a Bosman move this summer.
According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Toni Kroos might leave Real Madrid as a free agent in the summer transfer window. And Juventus will have the chance to sign the long-serving veteran in a Bosman move, with his agent offering the German playmaker to the Serie A giants.
The Toni Kroos Tale
Toni Kroos has been among the best players in the world for over a decade. The 34-year-old spent his formative years in his homeland before graduating from the Bayern Munich youth division. But a loan spell with Bayer Leverkusen helped him rise in prominence before he grew in stature at the Allianz Arena.
However, the experienced midfielder’s stock has skyrocketed since joining Real Madrid from Bayern Munich in July 2014. The German playmaker, who turned out over 100 times for his national side, has won every trophy at the club level while also lifting the FIFA World Cup in 2014.
Meanwhile, Kroos has turned out nearly 450 times thus far for Real Madrid, chipping in with 28 goals and 96 assists. But the long-serving Real Madrid veteran faces an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu after entering the final six months of his contract. With Carlo Ancelotti phasing him and Luka Modric out of the first-team picture, it will not be surprising if both players leave this summer.
Juventus Calling?
His next destination might be Juventus, with his agent already in contact with the Serie A giants. The report has revealed that his representatives have offered Toni Kroos to the Bianconeri. And while he is well into his thirties, he still has the quality to thrive in Serie A and extend his career by a few more years.
The slow-paced nature of Serie A football will help Kroos prove his longevity in Italy. So, with Juventus in a spot of bother over the long-term futures of a few midfielders, including Adrien Rabiot, it behoves them to sign a top-class midfielder like the 34-year-old Real Madrid veteran in a Bosman move.
It is unclear if Juventus will take up the option to sign Toni Kroos on a free transfer in the summer transfer window. But the former German international has emerged as a viable target as he winds down his Real Madrid stint.
