“I rather retire at my current Club than joining Manchester city and be paid £300, 000, I don’t want to end up as a bench warmer like Kelvin Philips
Manager now suggests that a £20 million player may retire rather than join Manchester City.
Carlo Ancelotti has delivered an update on Real Madrid No.8 Toni Kroos, who is being pursued by Manchester City.
Fabrizio Romano quoted the Italian.
So, what’s the latest on Toni Kroos, a Manchester City target? Let us have a look…
Pep Guardiola may be unable to sign Real Madrid’s No.8.
According to Defensa Central in Spain, Pep Guardiola is interested in signing the Germany international when his contract expires in June.
According to the Spanish newspaper, Manchester City might pay Kroos a weekly salary of £250,000.
Ancelotti, on the other hand, has accepted that the German may retire.
Kroos, who Zinedine Zidane likes, celebrates his 34th birthday in January.
According to Romano, Ancelotti stated, “Kroos will decide (if he retires this season).” He is aware that we adore him. He is in a terrific mood. His level is consistent. He works well with Valverde, Camavinga, and Tchouameni.”
It would be surprising if the Greifswald-born maestro decided to step down in the summer of 2024.
Kroos is still going strong at the age of 33, having made 18 appearances in all competitions for Real Madrid this season, scoring one goal and assisting on four others.
The majority of those have been starts, but the German has finished 90 minutes on seven occasions this term, indicating that fitness is not an issue.
If Kalvin Phillips leaves Manchester City, Toni Kroos would be a wise signing.
If Kalvin Phillips leaves, we believe it makes sense to sign Kroos on a free transfer.
Both the England international and the £20 million playmaker play in the No.6 position at the base of midfield, where their long-range passing abilities serve to open up opponents.

Phillips could leave the Etihad Stadium in January owing to a lack of playing time, so a move for the Real Madrid No.8 on a short-term contract lasting a year or two would make a lot of sense.
Keep a close eye on this scenario as Kroos prepares to make a decision on his future.
