Real Madrid’s Almaty number one, Toni Kroos, spoke about who could be his natural replacement in the team in the long term.
Real Madrid will suffer a very big loss next season after the German star announced that he will hang up his shoes and retire from football permanently after the end of the German national team’s campaign in Euro 2024.
The German midfielder has made it clear who could be his natural replacement in the long term, with the particularity that he is already a Real Madrid player.
“It was a smart signing,” Real Madrid’s Kroos said of Arda Guler’s arrival last summer. The Turkish attacking midfielder, who was hampered by injuries at the start of last season, ended up having a brilliant final spell of the campaign, making the most of the minutes he was given and scoring a total of six goals from six shots on target.
Kroos added that he believes that Arja Guler will transcend his career with Real Madrid if he continues in the same manner, and he does not rule out that the player will become an icon in Real Madrid in a very short time.
Specifically, in the Euros, the number 24 was the scorer of a magnificent goal, in Turkey’s debut in the continental tournament against Georgia (3-1), where he greatly assisted Vincenzo Montella’s team, which was then suffering from a draw against Georgia.
Arda Güler arrived at Real Madrid last summer in a deal that ended in around 25 million euros with Fenerbahce, who also had offers from Barcelona and Milan, among others, for the footballer, who prioritized wearing the white shirt above all else.
