United in Kroos control
Manchester United and other Premier League clubs could be put on alert by the availability of Real Madrid Toni Kroos, as reports from Spanish publication AS state the German international could be on the move.
The 29-year-old is said to be seeking a fresh challenge, while Real Madrid are eyeing midfield recruits of their own as they target United’s Paul Pogba and Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Eriksen.
Zinedine Zidane’s side could face competition in the market for Denmark international Eriksen though as TuttoSport state Inter Milan have opened preliminary talks for a deal that could cost upwards of £100m.
Eriksen’s current deal with Tottenham is due to expire in the summer of 2020 and that has provided belief for Inter and Real Madrid in the hunt for a deal, although Juventus are also said to be keen on his signature.
