Pundit in awe of Kroos as Liverpool swoop reported for ‘fabulous’ price
Paul Robinson has urged Liverpool to follow through with their reported interest in Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England number one said the Reds could get “another four years” out of the “fabulous” 31-year-old.
According to Spanish newspaper El Nacional (13th October), Liverpool have set their sights on a £20million move for the Germany international.
Jurgen Klopp is said to be a big fan of the 2014 World Cup winner.
Kroos has just over 18 months remaining on his contract at the Bernabeu.
When asked by Football Insider for his thoughts on the potential big-name signing, Robinson said:
“Kroos is the type of player Liverpool are shopping for at the moment, that place in the market. They have not got the finances and the resources to compete with the other big clubs.
“Toni Kroos is 31 but the way he plays, you will get another four years out of him. At £20million, it would be a good price. He’s a fabulous player.
“I think Liverpool are light in that area of their squad. They massively miss [Georginio] Wijnaldum. He played almost every game last year. If they can get a player of Toni Kroos quality in January though…
“What is £20million in this day and age for a player of Kroos’ quality. That is a deal that would be good for Liverpool.”
