Bild - Bayern Boss Threatens Kroos
The contract Posse by Toni Kroos (24) in Bavaria - there is no end in sight.
For weeks, speculation about an early extension of the contract (until 2015) or a move to England. Especially Manchester United should have interest, wants, according to " Daily Mail "an offer of almost 25 million euro exits.
Clear position of Bavaria : A specific salary cap will not be exceeded.
Now the new Bayern president Karl Hopfner expressed (61) in the "kicker": "When Michael Ballack was just as, and at some point we have withdrawn the offer."
Review: 2005 Bavaria fought the long question, that the then captain of the German national team extended his contract.
Bayern's board chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge then to BILD: "I believe that he is going. Because if you can not make it in six months, to extend the contract, then you will not make it even after that. "
After months of stalemate the German record champions then had enough and withdrew his offer. In summer 2006, Ballack moved to Chelsea.
The case Ballack Repeats now also in the case Kroos?
Big difference: Unlike Ballack, who left Bayern in the dark, Kroos has played with open cards. Earlier this year, he rejected the offer of his club to extend the contract.
Hopfner restricts the "kicker", however, a matter that it is absolutely give further discussions with Toni Kroos: "Kroos has a contract until 2015 There are certainly more calls.. At some point the players have to say what he wants. I accept safe from Uli (Hoeness, ed.): Certain financial limitations we will not exceed more ".
As it goes with Kroos for Bayern next? In summer 2015 he could leave the club free transfer.
The fact that Pep Guardiola would (43) Kroos like to keep, is well known: "It depends on Toni. But we want to continue with him here. "
And Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently presented clear: "Toni Kroos is secured next season for Bayern play. In addition, it is our will that he still wears our jersey after 30 June 2015. "
And what about a premature move to Manchester United?
Kroos consultant Volker Struth had persistent rumors denied a move to England this summer in BILD: "It is not an official contract offer is presented. Lastly, there is no need to submit an official offer. Because Toni Kroos will play until at least 2015 at Bayern. "
Thus, there remains the possibility that Kroos stays above 2015 with Bayern. But, as Karl Hopfner says stop only under certain (financial) conditions.
