This week, speculation has increased about a possible return of Toni Kroos to the international scene.
The veteran midfielder withdrew from Germany’s squad after Euro 2020, but has been linked with a return to the national team ahead of next summer’s European Championships, which will be held in his country original. Kroos himself has hinted he could come out of retirement, and Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann has now addressed the issue. On ZDF’s Sportstudio show, he said Kroos could return if he maintains his level of performance with Real Madrid.
“If he shows his best performance, I might call him again. This is a very interesting idea. You have to think about all the players who have a German passport, I think that’s my job. I spoke with Toni a lot, even long before I became a coach, because I consider him an exceptional player and person. »
Real Madrid would probably prefer Kroos to stay behind on the international scene, as this has allowed him to stay very fresh over the past couple of years. However, it appears that we are heading towards availability for Euro 2024, which would be a big boost for Germany.
