The abundance of riches accumulated by Bayern Munich in recent years has presented them with a dilemma, exemplified by the Tony Kroos case. Despite featuring in 17 Bundesliga matches this season and proving to be a significant asset to the team, the German international finds himself at a crossroads. While Bayern considers extending his contract, Kroos is pushing for compensation on par with the club’s highest earners like Lahm, Schweinsteiger, and Robben, reflecting the club’s substantial earnings.
However, according to Bild, Bayern’s management is hesitant to meet Kroos’s demands, potentially prompting him to explore other options. Kroos himself has not ruled out this possibility, stating, “I can’t rule out any option. There are no further discussions planned in the coming weeks. Now I am fully focused on the second part of the season with Bayern,” in an interview with the German magazine Kicker on Monday.
Should Kroos opt to depart, he will have no shortage of suitors. Manchester United has expressed keen interest in acquiring him and is determined to secure his services in England. The upcoming transfer window may witness Kroos bidding farewell to Germany in pursuit of new challenges.
