United target close to completing Real Madrid move
Real Madrid look to have won the race for the signature of Bayern Munich playmaker Toni Kroos, according to the Daily Mirror.
The 24-year-old had long been coveted by Manchester United as they continue to seek new signings in midfield, but a big-money contract offer from the Spanish giants looks to have swung a deal, despite interest from Chelsea as well.
United recently brought in Ander Herrera for a deal worth £29m, but had hoped to sign Kroos as well in a new-look midfield partnership.
