Although Toni Kroos is no longer part of the Real Madrid squad, his voice still carries considerable weight in the hallways of the Santiago Bernabéu. The retired German midfielder remains attentive to the news of the white club and has not hesitated to share his views on how the team should reinforce following a disappointing season.
The former German international has praised young talents like Pedri on several occasions, considering him the best in his position currently. However, aware of the impossibility of signing the Barcelona player, Kroos has put forward a name he believes is ideal for the Merengue's scheme: Tijjani Reijnders.
The best candidate for the Merengue midfield
The Dutch AC Milan player has made a good impression on Kroos, especially after his performance at the Bernabéu this season. The former Madrid player has mentioned in informal conversations with the white leadership, including Florentino Pérez himself, that he sees in Reijnders a complete midfielder profile, capable of influencing all phases of the game.
Juni Calafat, head of Madrid's scouts, has closely followed the Rossoneri footballer, although his signing would not be easy. Milan highly values the player and will not let him go for a low figure. However, the good relationship between both entities could facilitate a potential negotiation.
With Xabi Alonso leading the 2025-2026 project, Real Madrid faces the need to restructure its squad. Although there are several positions to strengthen, Kroos is clear: if there is an opportunity to add Reijnders, it should not be missed. His recommendation, based on knowledge and experience, could pave the way towards a new strategic signing for the Blancos.
