A real hub for Real Madrid for several seasons, Toni Kroos continues to surprise from year to year. Despite his 34 years, the German midfielder still establishes himself as a valuable element of his club.

Although he is a little less leggy than before, his football IQ and technical quality have not changed.

During an intervention at TNT Sports Argentinathe former Albiceleste and Villarreal maestro Juan Roman Riquelme did not hesitate to send compliments to the German world champion and also compared him to a tennis legend.

“I like Real Madrid number 5 (Jude Bellingham), I also like Toni Kroos. He is the closest thing to Federer when he played tennis: he plays with the ball and then goes home, without taking a shower. It’s an incredible thing! Kroos plays ball, the guy doesn’t throw himself on the ground, he doesn’t get dirty, he doesn’t sweat,” comments which should please the person concerned who is himself a big fan of Roger Federer.

A departure of Toni Kroos at the end of the season?

What will Toni Kroos’ future look like next season? Will he leave Real Madrid or extend his contract for another season? Where will he simply end his professional playing career?

At this moment, all options are possible. The 2014 world champion has not yet decided. He could also make his return to the selection to play Euro 2024 at home in Germany. Everything should settle down in the coming weeks. To be continued…
