The New Toni Kroos That Bayern Will Sign if Florentino Doesn't Stop Them, Makes a Move

Bayern very close to transfer new Toni Kroos if Real Madrid don't stop him immediately

The departure of Toni Kroos has caused Real Madrid to look for a replacement in the market. It is true that last summer no one was signed, because the focus was on 2025. However, they haven't stopped keeping an eye on the possible candidates that they have on their agenda.

One of them was Tom Bischof, a Hoffenheim player who has been performing at a high level this season. He was seen as an alternative to Kroos, because he has also followed in his footsteps. Just like the Real Madrid player, he moved back on the field to enhance his qualities.

In Bischof's case, we have to take into account that we are talking about a 19-year-old player . He has a long career ahead of him but he is very similar to Toni, which means that they don't lose sight of him. Although they know that it won't be easy because his transformation is being closely followed by many teams.

The player himself admitted that “we decided together that it is the best position for me at the moment” regarding his change. And he analyzes that “I come into contact with the ball quite a lot and it is something I enjoy, I have to sacrifice myself more.” A reflection that is very reminiscent of the role of the Real Madrid player.

Tom's contract expires on June 30 and it doesn't look like he's going to renew, which has everyone on alert. Eintracht Frankfurt, RB Leipzig and Stuttgart have shown interest, but Bayern are ahead . They know he would be an ideal reinforcement, at zero cost, for their midfield.

Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg has reported that he is very close to the Bavarians. “The talks were positive, they were mainly about prospects, not about specific figures yet,” he said. But Real Madrid still have room to act.

Florentino has already been warned that if he wants him, he can't let too much time pass because he would lose him. Although the player himself doesn't want to hear about his possible transfer for another team. "Right now I am concentrating on soccer , I am completely ignoring him, and that is also noticeable on the field" he commented.
