Agent: Kroos will stay at Bayern until 2015
Toni Kroos’ agent has hit back at claims suggesting the Bayern Munich midfielder is close to leaving the club.
Reports this season have suggested the 24-year-old playmaker could leave the Allianz Arena, with Premier League side Manchester United – who take on Bayern in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday – touted as a likely destination.
However, speaking ahead of Bayern's crucial clash, Kroos' representative Volker Struth rubbished the stories.
“For months we’ve been hearing all kinds of rumours, and we won’t comment on them,” he told Bild.
“But currently I believe that Toni will stay at Bayern at least until 2015.”
