Chelsea have emerged as the new favourites to sign Toni Kroos after offering the Bayern Munich man a five-year-deal worth £125,000-a-week.

Kroos, who has rejected the offer of a new contract at Bayern, looks all but certain to depart the club this summer, and Chelsea have now made an offer to sign him.

Manchester United and Real Madrid have also previously made approaches for the player, but neither can get near Chelsea’s giant offer.

AS says the Blues could pay £15million for the 24-year-old and then expect to lure him with a whopping £125,000-a-week deal.

Kroos’ agent has already made it clear that his client wants a big pay rise on his next contract, and those £6.5million-a-season terms certainly achieve that.



He is expected to finalise his next club after the World Cup in Brazil finishes.
