According to Real Madrid’s policy, the club is not willing to provide Kroos with a contract extension that is more than one year in duration. It was one of the primary reasons for Sergio Ramos’ departure from Real Madrid last summer. It looks that Kroos is in a similar predicament since he has indicated that he has no intention of signing a one-year deal.

The possibility exists that Kroos will leave Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season to make one final move in his professional career. It has heightened the tensions at Manchester City. Manager Pep Guardiola is a major admirer of the Real Madrid playmaker.

The transfer has paid off for the footballer. He has gone on to win four UEFA Champions League championships with Real Madrid as a result of the deal. The midfielder has played an important part in forming the Los Blancos roster. He has been an important member of the team for many years. Thus, having appeared in over 355 matches for the club throughout his career.

Manchester City is on the lookout for a new midfielder in the summer. Fernandinho is poised to depart the club after the current season.

However, in Kroos, Guardiola may have found himself a seasoned leader. He can provide both a winning mindset and steadiness in the centre of the field. The Real Madrid playmaker is quite skilled at set-piece deliveries. He might provide Manchester City with the talent that they need to finally break their European tournaments curse in the next season.
