Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos has joined
Real Madrid for an undisclosed fee on a six-year
deal.
Kroos, 24, was a key player in the Germany side
which beat Argentina 1-0 to win the World Cup and
scored two goals during the competition in Brazil.
He will be presented to the Real Madrid fans at the
Bernabeu on Thursday afternoon after undergoing a
medical.
Kroos joined Bayern from Hansa Rostock as a 16-
year-old and has made 176 appearances for the
German giants.
He spent 18 months on loan at Bayer Leverkusen but
returned to win three Bundesliga titles and three
German cups.
He was part of the historic treble-winning side of
2012-13 which also lifted the Champions League,
before winning the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club
World Cup last season.
Kroos, whose contract with Bayern had one year left
to run, had been linked with a move to Manchester
United.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: "We
would like to thank Toni Kroos for his time here in
Munich.
"We enjoyed great success here together. We would
like to wish him and his family all the best in Madrid
and with Real."
