#1 Toni Kroos
Toni Kroos was back at Bayern Munich after winning the World Cup with Germany. He was in talks about a contract renewal but was not being offered what he wanted.
The German midfielder reportedly demanded a lot more than what the Bundesliga side were offering and was straight away refused. Guardiola was reportedly asked to make the decision and he decided to stick with Mario Gotze.
Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told Toni Kroos that Bayern won't paying him more than €10 million a year because he's not a world-class player. He was then sold to Real Madrid for a mere €25 million – a deal that is dubbed as the steal of the century!
