Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Sunday that Madrid intend to bring Kroos back at the start of next season in a non‑playing capacity.
- His exact job has not been set, with reporting pointing to a role inside the sporting structure rather than a return to the pitch.
- President Florentino Pérez is described as the driving force, helped by a strong relationship with Kroos.
- Kroos lives in Madrid, runs a local academy, and has visited the Valdebebas training base, which could ease a quick transition into a staff role.
- The reports trace to Spanish daily AS and remain unconfirmed by the club, with Football España adding that talks are ongoing and an agreement is described as close.
