Title: Toni Kroos Steers Clear of European Championship Return Chatter in Podcast
In the ongoing discussion surrounding a potential return of Toni Kroos to the German national soccer team for the upcoming European Championship, the Real Madrid midfielder has avoided commenting on the topic during his latest podcast broadcast.
Brother Felix Kroos playfully suggested the idea, which prompted a chuckle from his elder sibling. Regardless, he never explicitly addressed the comeback debate for the home European Championship.
Nagelsmann's Perspective
Antonio Rüdiger, a teammate of Kroos at Real Madrid, recently advocated for a potential return, frequently inquiring about the possibility. Germany's head coach, Julian Nagelsmann, described the idea as an "intriguing notion" during a ZDF "Sportstudio" appearance, further stating that exploring all players with German citizenship is part of his job. However, Nagelsmann has yet to broach the topic with Kroos in a concrete manner.
Rumors of a Potential Return
According to Bild, there are rumors suggesting that Kroos might reconsider his decision to retire from the German national team following their disappointing exit in the Round of 16 at Euro 2021. With 106 matches as his final international tally, Kroos said his decision was final at the time. Since then, Kroos has maintained his place as a vital player with Real Madrid, winning the Champions League four times since joining in 2014 and earning a previous triumph while at FC Bayern Munich.

Despite debates regarding a potential return to the German national team, new reports indicate that Kroos is weighing the possibility of rejoining the team for the home European Championships. However, since his official retirement following the Euro 2021 Round of 16 exit, he has remained tight-lipped on the matter. Kroos' successful tenure with Real Madrid, having contributed to four Champions League victories since 2014, has sustained his prominence in the soccer world.
