Manchester City are ready to challenge Manchester United for Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos in the summer.

The Mail on Sunday says City could challenge rivals United Kroos in the summer.

United had hoped to sign Kroos ahead of the January deadline in a £25m deal, but despite the player having fallen out with Bayern manager Pep Guardiola, he stays with the club as they defend their Champions League title.

However, it seems certain Kroos will become available in the summer and City manager Manuel Pellegrini may go for the German ahead of Porto's Fernando.
