Toni Kroos on Thursday became Real Madrid's first high-profile signing for the new season, moving from Bayern Munich on a six-year deal just days after winning the World Cup with ­Germany.

The 24-year-old ­playmaker had an outstanding World Cup, scoring two goals in two minutes in the 7-1 semifinal rout of Brazil, en route to overcoming Argentina 1-0 in Sunday's final.

Spanish media said Real and Bayern agreed a deal worth between 25 and 30 million euros ($33-$40 million). The two clubs said the transfer fee would remain secret.

His arrival could hasten the departure of fellow German Sami Khedira who risks losing his midfield place.

A Real statement described Kroos as "a play­maker capable of finding the best option in any situation, with a vision of the game ­enabling him to help his teammates, as well as an impressive kick."

Kroos, whose contract with Bayern expired next ­season, sided with Real over alternatives such as Manchester United or Chelsea.

A Bayern statement confirmed it had made a deal with Real and that Kroos had signed a six-year contract. "The two clubs have agreed to remain silent about the transfer fee," it said.

Kroos arrives at the ­Santiago Bernabeu with 11 trophies already on his CV, the World Cup the jewel in a collection including the 2013 Champions League, Bundesliga titles and the Club World Cup.

He joined Bayern as a teenager in 2007, making his first team appearance at the age of 17. He became a regular after an 18-month loan spell at Bundesliga rivals ­Bayern Leverkusen.

This is the second high-profile World Cup ­player to move to La Liga this month, following Luis Suarez's reported 95 million euro ($128 million) ­transfer from Liverpool to ­Real's arch-rivals Barcelona.

The path from the World Cup to Spain could also see Monaco's Colombian hotshot James Rodriguez join Kroos at Real.

The World Cup's top ­scorer with six goals told Spanish sports daily ­Marca on Monday, "I'd jump at the chance of going to Real ­Madrid."

Real have also been linked with a move for Keylor Navas, the goalkeeper whose heroics helped Costa Rica reach the World Cup quarterfinals. Navas plays with Levante in the Spanish first division and his arrival would increase pressure on Iker Casillas, who is already criticized for his role in Spain's World Cup collapse.
