The manager currently suggests that a player worth £20 million might opt for retirement instead of joining Manchester City. Carlo Ancelotti provided an update on Toni Kroos, Real Madrid’s No.8, who is a target for Manchester City.
Ancelotti mentioned that Kroos might retire, although Pep Guardiola is interested in signing him when his contract ends in June. Reports indicate City might offer Kroos a weekly salary of £250,000. Ancelotti acknowledged Kroos’s potential retirement, stating that the decision lies with Kroos himself.
Despite being 33, Kroos remains influential at Real Madrid, making numerous appearances and displaying consistent performance levels. If Kalvin Phillips leaves Manchester City, signing Kroos could be a strategic move due to their similar playing positions and abilities.
The scenario suggests a potential short-term contract for Kroos, especially if Phillips departs due to limited game time. Keep an eye on Kroos’s decision regarding his future.
