Midfielder Toni Kroos has publicly blasted media reports that he wants out at Real Madrid.

Kroos, 29, has scored 13 times in 228 appearances and lifted 11 major pieces of silverware since a July 2014 transfer from Bayern Munich. This impact, however, has not dampened talk of a summer exit ahead of a predicted extensive rebuild.

Leading Spanish sports daily AS stated on Friday that the Germany international is considering a new challenge, leading to Los Blancos targeting Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen and Manchester United’s Paul Pogba as replacements.

But Kroos, while quoting the article on his verified Twitter account, labelled the article as: “Absolutely false information!”.

Madrid currently sit 13 points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, in third. Their failure to compete domestically and to lift the Champions League for a fourth-consecutive season, plus the return of head coach Zinedine Zidane, has led to rampant rumour about imminent incomings and outgoings.

Kroos has made 38 run-outs for Madrid this term, but has regularly failed to be at his imperious best.
