Manchester United preparing £260K financial sweetener to tempt Toni Kroos
MANCHESTER UNITED are prepared to offer Toni Kroos a bumper £260,000 a week to lure him away from Bayern Munich.
David Moyes has been tracking Kroos for a while and he is one of six players that United are thought to be looking to land in the summer.
There have been various noises coming out of the Bayern camp and Kroos has yet to put pen to paper on a new deal.
Former Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes has urged Kroos to stay at Bayern and he said recently: "I spoke with Toni. If he takes my words seriously, he will stay. A team like Bayern are not currently available in Europe.
"He would be well advised to extend. At present he has a good offer from Bayern. Toni knows also. I hope that his advisor also knows."

But according to fresh reports, United are prepared to test Bayern's resolve with a lucrative contract to lure Kroos away from the Allianz Arena.
Reports suggest United will offer £260,000 a week which put him in the top bracket of earners at Old Trafford.
Bayern it seems are already preparing for life without Kroos as they clinched the signing of Sebastian Rode from Eintracht Frankfurt on a four-year deal.
Kroos currently has one year left to run on his contract.
