Real Madrid Transfers: 7 World Class Players Who Could Be The Next Galactico

2. Toni Kroos

Manchester United's long-term target, Toni Kroos, has now caught the attention of Real Madrid. Over the past couple of seasons, 24 year-old Kroos has well and truly announced himself on the national and international stage. Having rejected Bayern Munich's latest contract offer, the £20 million rated midfielder is looking for pastures new. As his recent World Cup performance against Portugal showed, Kroos is in the mood to impress. More importantly, Madrid are lacking a player like Kroos in the middle of the park. Kroos can spray the ball around the pitch just as well as Modric or Xabi Alonso, but he is more direct, more attacking. His shots fly like cannonballs and he is a set-piece specialist. Not only will Kroos bolster Madrid's midfield, he will offer them something extra. This is why Chelsea have just joined the chase and United are still pursuing him. He is a special talent leaving at a bargain price.
