Mansion Sports – Real Madrid are planning to recruit a new midfielder this summer, as part of their preparation to finally find a replacement for Toni Kroos, who left the club nearly two years after retiring from professional football.

The former German international has remained in Madrid since hanging up his boots, and now he appears to be set for a return to Los Blancos.

Kroos Could Return in a New Role

Kroos has continued to follow Real Madrid’s development since his retirement, and he now has the opportunity to return to play an active role at the club. According to Diario AS, discussions are underway for him to return to the Santiago Bernabeu in a non-playing capacity.

It is not yet clear what role Kroos will take if he returns, but he is expected to be involved in Real Madrid’s sporting department in some capacity.

He has already been involved in youth player development since retiring, making that one possible option – in addition, he could also be involved in transfer matters, and over the past 12 months he has assisted the club in that area.

Strong Relationship with Florentino Perez

Kroos has a very strong relationship with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, who is the main figure pushing for the former midfielder’s return to the club.

This intention appears likely to be realized soon, as the chances of reaching an agreement to bring him back to Real Madrid continue to increase.

Supporters’ Expectations and Longing

Real Madrid supporters would certainly welcome Kroos’s return to the club, although many would prefer to see him still playing.

His presence in midfield has been greatly missed in recent seasons, which is also why it is quite surprising that a replacement has not yet been brought in.

Awaiting Final Confirmation

It remains to be seen whether an agreement will ultimately be reached to bring Kroos back to Real Madrid in a non-playing role, but at this moment, it appears very likely to happen.
