The 77-year-old has seen great champions pass through Casa Blanca. For him, certain players were unanimous and will be hard to replace in the future. In comments reported by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Madrid businessman did not fail to pay vibrant tribute to his young retiree Toni Kroos.

Kroos ready to return to Real Madrid
Toni Kroos is no longer a professional player. The German midfielder said goodbye to football after Euro 2024 at just 34 years old. The 2014 world champion may not be finished with football.
In his podcast which he co-hosts with his brother Félix, the former number 8 announced that he could well return to Real Madrid one day. “ At the moment, this is not a relevant topic for me. So for now I would say: no. Even if I am attached to the club. But I’m not saying that I won’t do anything with Real Madrid in my entire life. I do not exclude that at some point, I could be seen again in a role at Real Madrid,”
he admitted.
Before continuing his remarks: “ The importance of Real will always be the same for me. It was too long a step, big in my career. Especially since she is successful and also full of affection. It will always remain special. I will always feel close to Real Madrid, there is no doubt about that. And I will always defend Real, I will always be on their side. »
