Toni Kroos has ruled out any possibility of a return as a player to Real Madrid, ending speculation that had run rampant during a difficult season for the club in the Champions League and in midfield.

Real Madrid have struggled to balance their squad this season, particularly in midfield, which has seen Kroos’ name frequently mentioned as a possible solution. However, the German himself has closed this discussion clearly.

Speaking at the “Laureus Awards Gala” in Madrid, Kroos said that he never thought about a comeback.

“No, honestly no. I never had that thought because I stopped exactly as I wanted. I closed the chapter. Even if I thought about a comeback, it’s too late – my finish was at the highest level and everything after it would be worse,” he said. he.

Kroos retired in 2024 at the peak of his career, after winning the Champions League once again with Real Madrid in the 2023-24 season.

He ended his career with six Champions League trophies and a World Cup with Germany.

He emphasized that he is now focused on life after football.

“Now I have other motivations and projects in life. That phase ended well and I left happy,” he added.

Despite this, reports say Real Madrid are still considering Kroos for off-field roles in the club’s sporting structure at the Bernabéu, reflecting the huge impact he has had on the club’s history.

In the evening, he was presented with the Laureus Sporting Inspiration Award, a rare accolade given to only a few sportsmen and teams in history, in recognition of his outstanding career and impact on modern football./Express
