Chelsea are willing to offer Toni Kroos a deal worth almost DOUBLE what he has on the table from Real Madrid.
The London Evening Standard says the Blues had also been looking at Bayern Munich midfielder Kroos and offered him a contract worth £135,000 a week.
However, Kroos has set his heart on a move to Real Madrid and the Spanish club believe they will complete a £19.8m deal after the World Cup, despite giving the Germany international significantly reduced terms of £76,000 a week.
