The Germany international will continue his career
in La Liga after signing a six-year contract with the
Santiago Bernabeu side
Bayern Munich have announced that Toni Kroos has
completed his transfer to Real Madrid for an
undisclosed fee.
The attacking midfielder had long been linked with a
move to the Champions League holders and he has
now signed a contract with Madrid until the summer
of 2020.
"We would like to thank Toni for his time at Bayern
Munich," said Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
on the deal.
"We enjoyed some great successes together. We
wish him and his family all the best in Madrid and at
Real."
Bayern were initially keen to hold on to the 24-year-
old, yet they put him up for sale after failing to reach
an agreement over a contract renewal.
Manchester United also showed an interest in
signing the Germany international, but Kroos
eventually opted against a move to the Premier
League giants in favour of Madrid.
Kroos, who played a key role in Germany's World
Cup win this summer, will be presented to the media
and fans on the honorary balcony at the Santiago
Bernabeu at 17:00CET on Thursday.
The midfielder came through the ranks of the Hansa
Rostock youth academy, but joined Bayern at the
age of 16. He made over 170 official appearances
for Bayern since breaking into the first team in
September 2007.
He also enjoyed a successful loan spell at Bayer
Leverkusen from January 2009 until the summer of
2010.
