Toni Kroos' agent Volker Struth has revealed that Florentino Perez considers the former Germany international as Real Madrid's most successful acquisition this century.
The 31-year-old midfielder departed Bayern Munich back in 2014 to join Los Blancos, with whom he has won numerous trophies including three Champions League titles and two LaLiga Santander trophies.
"Shortly before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Florentino invited me to lunch," Struth told Philipp Westermeyer's OMR podcast.
"He is an incredibly nice person, with a great life story. He seems entrepreneurial, but he is still human.
"He explained to me why Toni is Real Madrid's signing of the century for him. Kroos is unbeatable in terms of value for money."

🇫🇷 Zidane: "Kroos is one of the best players in the world at his position. He plays for a great club, he has won everything, already at Bayern he showed that he was a top player & its not something that he has been doing for 1 or 2 years, but he has been at the top for many years."⠀ ⠀ 🇧🇷 Casemiro: "He's one of the most important players at the club because he manages the ball and the rhythm with which we play. If Toni wants to play slowly, we play slowly. If he wants us to play quicker, we play quicker. We play in Kroos' way."⠀ ⠀ 🇪🇸 Xavi: "I think that Kroos is the engine of Real Madrid. He has a way of playing that reminds me a lot of myself. He is like my successor on the field."⠀ ⠀ 🏴 Paul Scholes: "Kroos is the best midfield passer in the world. Towards the end of my career, I tried to emulate him."⠀ ⠀ 🇩🇪 Oliver Kahn: "He is the heart of Real Madrid, he makes the game fast pace but can also soothe play. He is always playable & makes few mistakes. He's a soothing and stabilising factor in the Real Madrid building."⠀ ⠀ 🇩🇪 Jurgen Klopp: "I like him very much. He knows what to do with the ball always." ⠀ 🇪🇸 Pep Guardiola: "Toni Kroos is a very intelligent, brainy & a very calm player. The players who shout the most are those that hide when things go badly. Toni is the opposite, he's the bravest of them all in the most difficult moments."⠀ ⠀ 🇩🇪 Joachim Low: "He always does well for us. He is very economical in his way of playing. He does not make many mistakes. He brings balance to the team and is always available to receive the ball. His team-mates trust in him."⠀ ⠀ Maestro, Toni Kroos

Then don’t be obsessed with him and stop commenting about him on articles not related to any of them Because this attitude of yours shows you’re obsessed with him and think of him I hope y’all who just troll these guys have more better life than them All love though but you shouldn’t take all these trolls/bants seriously because I don’t just know what to say. A tap in merchant and useless that has over 800 goals and over 200 assists.. I guess all his goals and free kicks are tapins and penalty and his assists were thrown with his hands
Well not all 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe CR5 or even CR2 but once you’re done with your ranting you’ll see under this same post where I corrected myself saying I read it but didn’t know it was century but you just have to comment to show you’re one of Messi fanboys.. saying CR5 doesn’t change the fact that worldwide he’s known as CR7 and has achieved more than anyone on this app trolling him and same goes to Cr7 fans always trolling Messi You people should rest because I don’t know if it’s envy, hatred, been jobless or obsession.

c .Ronaldo was not a Perez's signing so ofcourse he would go for what he did best. and Kroos is undoubtedly his best VALUE FOR MONEY signing.he didn't said best signing. Ronaldo Nazario,Zidane, figo , etc etc they were great but they were big money signings but Kroos at 24 years of age already world cup winner for 25-30 million€ was best value for money signing ever

People talking about CR7 definitely don’t know he wasn’t signed this decade compared to Kroos who was signed in 2014 while Ronaldo was in 2009 If Perez was to name another signing of this current century then it might be Alaba since he was signed in another decade compared to Kroos Y’all people should understand this things as a football fan ❤️

That’s where your wrong, please I’m a student I’ve learned this, a decade is 10 years, doesn’t matter when it started, all that matters is a decade is a time period of 10 years. same logic with a century, millennium etc
Hey man. Ain’t decade but century 😔❤️❤️

Not arguing with you on that. I’m talking about in footballing terms. It’s so obvious and clear unless u want engagement and arguments If it’s so then answer me why Messi is the first player to win balon d’or in three different decades while the likes of Joaquin of Real betis and Buffon are always referred to as players that has played in 4 different decades…if u can answer that then I’ll rest and accept Man… Not about fighting but the fact we know in football 😉

God🤦🏽♂️ A decade is 10years and 2000-2010 is a decade while another is 2010-2020 and another one started 2020- Why do you think media and pundits points out Messi as the first ever player to win balon d’or in three different decades?? Learn in peace and make corrections deep inside you to avoid mistake anywhere Why do u think Joaquin of Real betis is one of the players to play in 4 different decades? Making his debut for real betis in 2000!!!

Madrid were struggling, they were losing badly, were changing coaches so quickly, it felt like the end but then Zinedine Zidane joined Real Madrid on 4th January, 2016 and the rest .. 🏆
