The German media have been speculating for quite some time already that the hugely promising midfielder is increasingly prepared to force a move in order to quicken his development as a player.

The 18-year-old only intensified the speculation when he told the press: "Whether I leave or not is up to me. But I have seen my situation improve a bit lately."

Bayern are showing understanding but the prospect for the talented midfielder does not look all that rosy this season with a number of proven internationals ahead of him in the pecking order.

The Kroos family will wait another month to see how things work out, and then hold potentially decisive talks in December with the club's leadership.

Kroos has a contract with Bayern until 2012 and it is unlikely that Bayern would be willing to sell him. A loan move, however, could be on the cards with a whole host of Bundesliga clubs already being linked with his name.

He has made just two starts this season, with three additional substitute appearances.
