RUMOURS: Juventus keen to land Kroos

Juventus are targeting Real Madrid star Toni Kroos as a major reinforcement for their midfield, reports Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Bianconeri have recently been linked with James Rodriguez and have extended their attention to the German.

Juve director Giuseppe Marotta is willing to spend big on Kroos, who is expected to command a fee in the region of €60 million.

Should their bid be turned down by Real, the Serie A champions will turn to Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti or Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic instead.
