Toni Kroos announced recently more than a week that this was his last season like player of the Real Madrid
Additionally, he decided to retire following the Eurocopa dispute this summer. He is achieving his ‘wish’ to end his football career at the top, after a season in which he demonstrated once again that he is one of the greatest midfielders in history and played a crucial role in Carlo Ancelotti’s project.
Real Madrid has been preparing for the departures of Kroos and Modric by signing several new players. It appears that Fede Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Eduardo Camavinga, none of whom are over 25, will be responsible for leading the midfield. So far, the club has not considered making a significant financial investment to add another midfielder, aside from the potential option of Florian Wirtz in 2025.
In Germany, it has been suggested that Real Madrid might be interested in signing Joshua Kimmich, the player who notably halted Vinicius Jr. during the Champions League semifinals while playing as a right-back. According to ‘BILD,’ Madrid sees Kimmich as a potential addition to strengthen their midfield and might pursue his transfer this summer, which would be an unexpected twist in the narrative.
The future of Kimmich is uncertain and will likely depend on the plans of Vincent Kompany, who recently took over as Bayern Munich’s coach. Kompany is expected to outline the project aimed at restoring the team’s prominence. Kimmich had previously considered leaving, particularly during Thomas Tuchel’s tenure, and FC Barcelona has always regarded him as a top choice to strengthen their midfield.
