Toni Kroos admits he is a big fan of Real Madrid teammate

It is safe to say that Toni Kroos has been one of the best midfielders in the world during his entire run at Real Madrid, which has been legendary in every sense of the word. Unfortunately though, that run might be coming to an end soon with rumours doing the rounds that he is considering retirement at the end of this season.

Even if Kroos decides to carry on beyond this season, it is hard to see him hanging on for too long. He has already retired from the German national team and it is expected that he will hang up his boots for good soon.

Real Madrid’s midfield could be in good hands, or feet, even if he ends up retiring though, as Federico Valverde has shown that he has world-class potential.

Kroos has even admitted that he is a big fan of Valverde. As reported by Marca, he said while speaking on the Einfach mal Luppen podcast:

"“If he keeps going like this I don’t see any limits for him. He is very, very complete. If he doesn’t see a solution with the ball at some point then he picks up the ball and goes straight for the opposition goal (laughs).“I’m a big fan of Valverde.”"

The Uruguayan midfielder has been outside of this world this season. He has been very highly rated for his game for a long time, but now he has added goals to it as well.

It is hard to believe that he scored just one goal last season because right now, every time he shoots, the ball finds its way into the back of the net. Valverde appears to be scoring one stunner after another at the moment.

What is even more impressive is the fact that Valverde has been played out of position a lot of the time, on the wing, and not only has he adjusted to that change, but he seems to be thriving in the role.

Carlo Ancelotti had joked that he would retire if Valverde did not score 10 goals but it looks like the Uruguayan could double that figure.
