Former Germany international midfielder Toni Kroos could be on his way back to Real Madrid in a new capacity, after retiring from professional football.
Reports from The Athletic say the 36-year-old is currently in discussions with the Spanish giants about taking up an important role within the club’s sporting structure.
The role is expected to involve key responsibilities, although full details have not yet been confirmed.
Kroos ended his playing career after the 2024 European Championship, bringing to a close an outstanding spell in football where he played at the highest level for both club and country.
Since his retirement, he has focused on developing young talents through his Toni Kroos Academy, which officially opened in September 2024.
Real Madrid are believed to be keen on bringing him back into the club in a non-playing role.
The plan is said to be similar to the pathway of former player Zinedine Zidane, who first worked in an advisory position at the club before eventually becoming head coach of the first team.
If the agreement is completed, Kroos would return to the club where he enjoyed major success during his playing days, helping them win multiple domestic and European titles.
