Real Madrid are expected to unveil Toni Kroos as their latest Galactico on Thursday this week. The Bayern Munich midfielder announced, after helping Germany win the World Cup on Sunday, that he was moving to Real.
Though his agent, Volker Struth, has since moved to deny the claims, BILD says Real are preparing a signing ceremony slated for Thursday at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Kroos has agreed a five-year contract with Real worth a staggering €60 million.
With less than a year to run on his Bayern deal, Real are confident shaking hands on a fee of €25 million.
