MANCHESTER CITY are reportedly looking to negotiate with Toni Kroos over a January transfer.
The Real Madrid midfielder, 32, will be out of contract at the end of the season and Pep Guardiola is looking to grab a freebie.
The German star’s reluctance to sign a fresh deal at the Bernabau has encouraged teams to take a chance.
Sport reports the Premier League champions are not hesitating and have already reached out.
Kross is free to start working on a move with another club as of January 1.
He has told Los Blancos bosses that he is in “no hurry” to decide his next chapter.
Real are hoping he will renew but the World Cup winner is waiting to see how he feels later in the campaign.
Kross has had a long and glittering career with the Spanish giants, lifting the Champions League trophy four times with them.
With a total of 383 total games for Madrid, he has also helped them win La Liga three times.
And now Guardiola wants to bring his talent to Manchester.

The Spaniard managed Kroos for a successful double-winning season at Bayern Munich in 2013-14.
The midfielder recently said: “Guardiola fought until the last day for me to stay at Bayern.
“I really enjoyed the year with him, he improved me a lot.
“If I have to choose a coach who is perfect for my game, it’s Guardiola.”
