Real Madrid plans to bring Toni Kroos back, not as a player but in a new role, to strengthen expertise and influence the next generation.
Real Madrid is planning to bring Toni Kroos back to the Bernabéu, with direct backing from president Florentino Pérez, in an effort to rebuild and reinforce the team's midfield.
According to multiple Spanish sources, Real Madrid's leadership believes the current moment is ideal for Kroos's return. However, this comeback is not in a playing role, even though the German midfielder's physical condition is still rated very highly. Instead, he is expected to take on a role within the club's sports system, contributing to tactical direction and supporting the coaching staff.
At the Valdebebas training center, many opinions suggest Kroos's influence could make a clear difference, especially as Real Madrid seeks to regain stability. He brings not only peak experience but could also become a crucial bridge between the old generation and young players.
Although the specific role is still under discussion, the plan to bring Kroos back is almost approved and is expected to be officially implemented from next season. The Royal club's leadership believes the presence of this former midfielder will accelerate professional development and strengthen the team's competitive identity.
The good relationship between Kroos and Florentino Pérez is also a key factor making this deal smooth. The two parties have never had conflicts, even when Kroos left the club after winning his sixth Champions League title.
Currently, Kroos still lives in Madrid with his family and has opened his own football academy. He also frequently returns to Valdebebas recently, showing a tight connection with his former club.
Kroos's return, whether on the coaching bench or in an advisory role, is expected to bring new energy to Real Madrid in its quest for major titles.
