According to the recent reports, Liverpool has already expressed their interest in signing Kroos next summer and now Manchester City has also entered the race to acquire the Germany international.

Signing Toni Kroos will be a great acquisition for either Liverpool or Manchester City. The Reds have been looking to sign a creative midfielder since last summer.
