Juventus is reportedly keeping a close eye on Toni Kroos’ situation at Real Madrid as the experienced German midfielder nears the end of his contract.
According to La Stampa (via Get Football News Italy), Kroos is seen as a “dream signing” for the Old Lady this summer. With his current contract set to expire in June and no extension agreed upon with the La Liga outfit, Juventus sees an opportunity to secure his services.
Despite the presence of a competitive midfield at Real Madrid, Kroos has remained a key figure under Carlo Ancelotti this season, featuring in 32 matches across various competitions. His contributions include one goal and seven assists.
Since joining from Bayern Munich in July 2014, Kroos has been an integral part of the Santiago Bernabeu setup, amassing an impressive tally of 449 appearances and clinching 21 major trophies with Los Blancos.
Juventus is actively seeking midfield reinforcements, with Kroos featuring prominently on their shortlist alongside Arsenal’s Jorginho, whose contract also expires this summer, although Arsenal has an option for a one-year extension.
However, convincing Kroos to make the switch to the Allianz Stadium may require some effort. Reports suggest that the veteran midfielder is contemplating retirement at Real Madrid before pursuing personal endeavors.
Real Madrid might offer him an extension to stay for another season, having secured a new one-year deal for him last summer.
