Pep about Kroos: "It can go fast in football. Here today, there tomorrow."

Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has suggested that Toni Kross could yet leave the club, amid reported interest from Manchester United.

Kroos, 24, is under contract until 2015 but the Germany international has, so far, not reached agreement on an extension despite negotiations in recent weeks.

The midfielder played an important role under Jupp Heynckes last season as Bayern won the Treble of Champions League, Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, and has been one of the few true regulars under new Guardiola. He has featured in all but one of the club's competitive games this season.

"He is an important player," Guardiola said ahead of Bayern’s game at Stuttgart. "But it can go fast in football. Here today, there tomorrow."

The Germany international has been linked with a switch to Old Trafford, following David Moyes’ visit to Borussia Park on Friday to watch Bayern’s 2-0 win against Moenchengladbach.

The United manager was spotted at the match with Sascha Breese, who is the man responsible for "international contacts" at Sports Total, Kroos’ agents.

Volker Struth, Kroos’ main agent, is reported to have told kicker that the current contract offer on the table is unacceptable and no further negotiations are currently scheduled. It means Bayern could choose to cash in now before the player moves into the final year of his agreement.

"I can’t rule out anything," Toni Kroos told kicker, when questioned if he could go into the World Cup without prolonging his Bayern deal.  "No talks are planned in the near future. I am fully focused on the Rueckrunde [second part of the Bundesliga season] now."

Kroos to Barca, I can see that at some point. Kroos to United, not so much.

But don't forget Mourinho, he'll be in there as well.
I can remember the look on his face when Kroos eased past Real's midfield in that one situation in 2012's CL semi. It said: "I have to sign this guy as soon as the opportunity arises."

Xavi will play another 10 years. Then he will retire. Then he will come out of retirement to play again.

Cesc replacement.

Having said that - our director of football doesn't even know who Kroos is. We'll buy Diaby and play him as CB.

"Much has been written, especially in the last few days, about my sporting future," Kroos wrote on his official Facebook page. "But you shouldn't believe everything in some newspapers.

"The fact is I am very happy to play for Bayern and my position in the team is very good. The fact is also that we couldn't agree a new contract.

"Since it runs until 2015 this is not a big problem, and we will see what the future brings.
