According to SPORTthe Premier League champion is not hesitating and has already taken a step towards signing the player.
The Citizen’s are willing to offer him a deal worth €14m (£12.2m) a year – which equates to around £230,000 a week. A big increase from his current €9 million deal.
Real Madrid remain determined to extend his contract, but the player wants to see how he feels, both physically and mentally, before making a decision.
The 32-year-old has complete freedom over his next move and only needs to wait until January 1 to sign a contract with another club.
One thing that could sway a deal in City’s favor is the previous relationship between Kroos and Guardiola. The two spent a season together at Bayern Munich in 2013/14.

Kroos spoke highly of his former coach when asked about their time in the Bundesliga side.
He said: “Guardiola fought to the last day to stay at Bayern. If I have to choose a coach who is perfect for my game, it’s Guardiola. I really enjoyed the year with him, he improved me a lot.’
The midfielder has made 11 appearances for Los Blancos this season, scoring with a goal and two assists in LaLiga so far.
His only goal came in their 2-1 win over Cadiz last week where he scored a wonder goal to secure all three points for his side.
