Toni Kroos, despite retiring from professional football, continues to have a significant influence at Real Madrid. Known for his success and leadership on the field, the German midfielder is now helping guide the club off it.
Recently, Kroos reportedly recommended a potential successor in the form of Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, a player he believes could fill his shoes in the midfield at the Santiago Bernabeu.
According to reports, Kroos has suggested Kimmich as the ideal replacement due to his versatility and wealth of experience.
Kimmich, who has played almost 400 games for Bayern Munich, is regarded as one of Europe’s most complete midfielders. His tactical flexibility, including his ability to operate at right-back, makes him a valuable asset for any team.
Real Madrid is said to be seriously considering Kroos’ recommendation. With Kimmich’s contract expiring next summer, there’s a strong chance he could be available as a free agent.
However, Madrid would face tough competition, especially from Barcelona, who have shown interest in the German star in the past. Bayern Munich, too, are expected to fight hard to keep hold of Kimmich.
For now, the possibility of Kimmich donning the white jersey of Real Madrid remains open, but one thing is clear – Toni Kroos’ opinion carries a lot of weight, and his endorsement of Kimmich could shape the club’s midfield for years to come.
