Toni Kroos to be rewarded with new Real Madrid contract offer as La Liga giants aim to fend off Manchester City interest

REAL MADRID want to reward German playmaker Toni Kroos with a new contract, according to reports.

Pep Guardiola tried to lure the midfielder, 26, to Manchester City this summer but Kroos was quick to distance himself from speculation.

According to Marca, the gesture did not go unnoticed and Madrid chiefs are willing to make Kroos the club’s fourth top earner behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos.

Kroos’ current deal expires in 2020 but Real are hoping to tie the ex-Bayern Munich ace down until 2022 or 2023.

Reports suggest a new contract could be drawn up in the coming weeks as Bernabeu bosses aim to secure Kroos’ future as soon as possible.

Kroos has become a key man in Zinedine Zidane‘s team and made 44 appearances for Real last season.

Already he has scored in the new campaign, netting the winner against Celta Vigo last weekend.

Real moved quickly to tie Welsh wizard Bale down to a new £375,000-a-week deal until 2021 and new contracts for Ronaldo and Norwegian wonderkid Martin Odegaard are in the pipeline.

The club will then turn their attention to midfield maestro Luka Modric, who has just two years left on his current deal.

Madrid signed Kroos, who has 71 caps for Germany, in 2014 for £20million.

Since joining, he has won the Champions League, Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup.
