Toni Kroos is expected to return to Real Madrid in a new role, with growing speculation that he could play a part in bringing Jürgen Klopp to the club.
Real Madrid could soon welcome back Toni Kroos, but not as a player.
Reports from Spain suggest the former midfielder is close to returning to the club in a role within the management structure.
More than just a return?
The story has gained momentum in recent days, with speculation growing that Kroos’ return may serve a broader purpose.
One theory connects his arrival to the future of the coaching position.
Klopp link raises interest
Jürgen Klopp has emerged as a potential candidate for the Real Madrid bench.
The connection is simple. Kroos and Klopp are neighbors in Mallorca and share a strong relationship.
This has led to suggestions that Florentino Pérez could use Kroos as a bridge to open discussions with the German coach.
Klopp situation remains complex
Klopp is currently working within the Red Bull football structure, overseeing multiple clubs. His contract runs until 2029.
At the same time, he is learning Spanish, which has only increased speculation about a possible move.
Real Madrid’s leadership is known to value the 58-year-old highly, given his track record at Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool.
Coaching question still open
The current season is still ongoing, but discussions about the next coach have already started.
Whether Kroos’ return will influence that decision remains unclear, the connection has added a new layer to the situation.
The coming months will determine if this idea develops into a concrete move or remains speculation.
