MANCHESTER CITY are reportedly looking to negotiate with Toni Kroos over a January transfer.
The Real Madrid midfielder, 32, will be out of contract at the end of the season and Pep Guardiola is looking to grab a freebie.
The German star’s reluctance to sign a fresh deal at the Bernabau has encouraged teams to take a chance.
Sport reports the Premier League champions are not hesitating and have already reached out.
Kross is free to start working on a move with another club as of January 1.
He has told Los Blancos bosses that he is in “no hurry”; to decide his next chapter.
