Real Madrid legend’s return to the club edges closer | OneFootball

According to AS, the return of Toni Kroos to Real Madrid is increasingly close to becoming a reality. His comeback to the club is not linked to the appointment of a future head coach.

It is a completely separate matter and is progressing independently from any managerial negotiations.

Kroos returns home

Several weeks ago, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez decided it was time to begin working on bringing back one of the key symbols of the team that dominated Europe, winning six Champions League titles in ten years.

From that moment, the club began efforts to facilitate the return of Kroos, who left a lasting mark during his decade at the club as a player.

Kroos became a reference point and an example for both Real Madrid supporters and many rivals. This is why the club’s leadership is interested in bringing back a figure admired for both his footballing quality and his conduct on and off the pitch.

Initial talks have already taken place, and within Valdebebas there is a belief that his return could become a reality in the coming days.

Since retiring, the former 2014 World Cup winner with Germany has been fully dedicated to the football academy he established.

Throughout the season, he has been seen on several occasions at the club’s training facilities with his teams, acting as a leader, coach, and mentor, passing on his understanding of the game to younger players.

Not linked with Klopp move

In recent days, there has been speculation that Kroos’ return could be linked to the arrival of Jurgen Klopp. This is not the case.

The idea of bringing the former Real Madrid player back into the daily environment at Valdebebas predates any decision regarding a change of coach. His return is more aligned with strengthening the group of former players working within the club.

As it stands, no specific role or position has been defined for Kroos in his increasingly likely return to Real Madrid.

There has been speculation about a possible partnership with Klopp if he were to be appointed head coach next season. What is clear is that Kroos’ return to the club is edging closer.
