Newcastle United are weighing up a transfer for Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos. The Magpies are the richest club in the world right now, following their £305 million takeovers. The board believes that signing Kroos will help the team achieve their objectives of being a big club once again.

Kroos is one of the best midfielders in the world and has enjoyed a very successful career. He has featured for German giants Bayern Munich, but most of his success came with Real Madrid. The number 8 was a key part of the squad as Madrid won the Champions League three times in a row.

He is currently 31, and his contract with Real Madrid expires in 2023. If Madrid do not sell the player next summer, Kroos will be able to walk out for free in 2023. The player retired from the German national team after the Euros. He was also a part of the squad that won the 2014 World Cup by defeating Argentina.

With such a trophy-laden career, Toni Kroos could be a huge signing for Newcastle United. The reported fee for the player is £25 million since he turns 32 in January. Newcastle United are hoping to make a number of signings to avoid relegation at the end of the season.

Kroos might be a target too big to sign for Newcastle United in January. But they could try their chances next summer once they have built a better team.
