"?Juventus are demanding a world record fee and star midfielder Toni Kroos if Real Madrid are to sign Paul Pogba this summer, according to Spanish media outlet Marca.
Real Madrid are reportedly keen on finally splurging on the star Juventus midfielder after years of being linked with him, although the Serie A champions are very averse to the idea of selling.
That is why they have included Kroos as part of their demands in order to deter Real Madrid interest or at least get the very best deal possible if they are coerced into parting ways with Pogba this summer.
Kroos is an integral part of the midfield setup at the Santiago Bernabeu so it is difficult to envisage a scenario where Real Madrid give up that much money along with a player who, himself, is probably worth at least €60m in today's market.
In addition, Juventus are closing in on the signing of Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic so it remains to be seen whether that indicates more willingness to sell Pogba.
One thing is clear though, Juventus are open to this being the summer that Pogba finally walks through the exit door but the price they want for that to happen is enormous.
