One of Real Madrid’s seasoned midfield players may be offered a two-year deal by Man City this summer, according to a daring rumour from Spain.
As some current first-team alternatives and their respective fates remain uncertain, this is the most recent information regarding Manchester City’s anticipated pursuit of fresh names in the centre midfield roles.
Unless Etihad Stadium management are able to get an extension for the Belgian, Kevin De Bruyne will be approaching the final year of his Manchester City contract when the new campaign begins, with Saudi Arabian officials keeping a close eye on things.
In other news, it’s expected that Bernardo Silva and Kalvin Phillips will try to leave the team, and those in charge of hiring at City will probably look for a more capable replacement for Rodri, who is currently untouchable.
Regarding the latter endeavour, a recent Spanish source has connected Manchester City to a somewhat unexpected interest in one of the best midfield players in history, who is presently playing for the recently crowned La Liga winners.
According to Defensa Central, a Real Madrid-focused publication, Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are anticipated to make a move for midfielder Toni Kroos of Santiago Bernabeu when the current campaign comes to an end.

According to Defensa Central, a Real Madrid-focused publication, Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are anticipated to make a move for midfielder Toni Kroos of Santiago Bernabeu when the current campaign comes to an end.
The German player is reportedly in line for a two-year contract from the Etihad club, or a one-year initial agreement with the possibility of a one-year extension. It is comforting to know that Madrid does not anticipate making a deal for Kroos this summer.
However, Pep Guardiola’s interest in the player is evident, and the player himself is reportedly expecting to sign a record-breaking €30 million contract with Manchester City.
Even though Toni Kroos is 34 years old, and Carlo Ancelotti has several young, fresh players at his disposal in central midfield, he has made an impressive 45 appearances this season across all competitions.
Kroos has made 31 La Liga appearances, with one goal and seven assists. Real Madrid defeated Girona of the City Football Group, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid to win the Spanish top division.
Naturally, Manchester City is well-acquainted with Kroos’ skills, having played the German and his colleagues twice this season and multiple times in previous campaigns, in the recently established UEFA Champions League rivalry between the two clubs.
