Toni Kroos has revealed Bayern Munich s refusal to match his wage demands was one of the principal reasons behind his decision to leave the club for Real Madrid.

The Bundesliga giants were keen to hold on to Kroos, but eventually opted to cash in on him in 2014 one year before the end of his contract after he refused to sign a renewal.

Kroos has admitted that he initially intended to stay at the Allianz Arena, but says he has no regrets over his switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

We obviously failed to reached an agreement financially, Kroos told Sport Bild.

But when I look back at the whole situation, I am quite happy that we did not reach an agreement. I initially wanted to stay when we started talks, but we did not only disagree about the financial sid…

As reported by the Independent, Tottenham Hotpsur are considering a swoop for Atletico Madrid outcast Thomas Lemar.

The winger was among the more sought-after players in Europe prior to his switch from AS Monaco in 2018 and a fierce race for his signature unfolded, which eventually Atletico won and paid €72 million to take him to the Spanish capital. Naturally, under those circumstances, a huge weight of expectation was placed on his shoulders, and he appears to have completely crumbled under it, as manager Diego Simeone himself admitted.

Spurs are facing the prospect of losing Christian Eriksen very soon, and Lemar could be seen as a replacement for the Denmark international. The deal would apparently begin with a loan for which the North London club would pay a €6…
