Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has spoken about Leo's future at Barça

Real Madrid midfielder, Toni Kroos, has admitted that Leo Messi's potential departure from Barça would be a major advantage for his side.

"If one of those types of players doesn't play for your rival, it isn't a bad thing for us. Messi being out of Barcelona means that Barcelona are missing one of their best weapons," Kroos told German podcast 'Einfach mal Luppen'.

When quizzed about a possible destination for Messi, Kroos ruled out Leo joining him at Real Madrid. "I don't believe he'll come to Real Madrid." He still believes Manchester City are the favourites for Leo.

Kroos said Messi was "one of the best players of all-time" but he personally feels Cristiano Ronaldo is the better of the two.
