Antonio Rudiger recently revealed that he asks Kroos to return to the German national team “every day”.
Representing your country is a unique experience, but doing it at a major tournament in your home country? It’s the stuff of dreams, and maybe even the stuff of Toni Kroos’s dreams.
The Real Madrid metronome retired from international duty after an inglorious exit with Germany from the 2018 World Cup in Russia, with the Mannschaft falling in the group stage. Having already won the World Cup in 2014, Kroos decided his cycle was over.

However, Antonio Rudiger recently revealed that he asks Kroos to return to the German national team “every day”. After the Champions League trip to Berlin to face Union, Kroos told DAZN (via Diario AS) that he could not reveal his response to his compatriot.
“I had to think about it for a long time, it took me by surprise because I hadn’t thought of it myself, but he did.”
“That made me think and I gave him an answer that I can’t give you today,” remarked Kroos with a broad smile.
The 33-year-old could certainly return to the team, but he might face competition from Joshua Kimmich, or even Ilkay Gundogan, in his ideal role. However, if Julian Nagelsmann were interested in his return, it would be an enticing prospect for any footballer, although Kroos has no problem playing to the media.
