TONI KROOS
Manchester city football club have reportedly abandoned
their pursuit of Real Madrid football club attacking midfielder Isco and are
instead now interested in signing his teammateToni Kroos.
City boss Pep Guardiola has stated that he will only look to
add one or two new players to his title-winning squad this summer after seeing
his side become the first in English top-flight history to rack up 100 points
in a single campaign.
Isco has been linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium for
some time and Guardiola is understood to still be a fan of the Spaniard, but
Madrid president Florentino Perez is reluctant to let the 26-year-old leave.
Spanish outlet Don Balon reports that City have now switched
their focus to Kroos as a result, with a new midfielder thought to be near the
top of Guardiola's list of priorities.
City's local rivals Manchester United have previously been
linked with the Germany international, although they are more interested in
signing Fred or Sergej Milinkovic-Savic this summer.
City have also been credited with an interest in both
players, while Napoli's Jorginho is another who is on the radar of the new
Premier League champions.
