Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos spoke to 'Bild'. He was asked about whether he has advised David Alaba to comeo to Real Madrid. Alaba's Bayern contract expires this summer. Kroos made it clear that he had not spoken to him about his future and that Alaba is now old enough to make decisions himself.

David Alaba has already announced that he will leavw Munich. As soon as June arrives, he will go to Bayern. He is not going to renew despite the offers the Bavarians have made him. 

The two clubs in the best position to get the central defender are Real Madrid and PSG. It is said that, to sign him, the footballer has asked to play in midfield and be paid 22 million euros a year.

Toni Kroos, who used to be Alaba's teammate at Bayern, denies having spoken to the Austrian about his future. "I don't know anything, he hasn't called me," he told 'Bild'. 

That said, he made it clear that even if he did so, the decision would be Alaba's and nobody else's. "I think he's old enough to make a decision," he said. 

"I don't know what offers he has on the table. If I had spoken to him 30 times on the phone, I'd know his intentions, but I only know what he is written about the topic," Kroos concluded.
