Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos has this week thrown his backing behind fellow countryman Florian Wirtz, to one day take his talents to Spain’s capital.

The name of youngster Wirtz has of course long proven a prominent one in the transfer chatter surrounding Real.

As much comes amid the widespread understanding that the 21-year-old has been earmarked as a leading target on the part of Florentino Pérez and co.

Wirtz, for his part, is in the midst of another fine season to date, which has seen the attacking midfielder rack up 20 goal contributions for Bayer Leverkusen across 25 appearances in all competitions.

Speaking to the media on Friday, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of his compatriot’s links with his former club was put to the aforementioned Toni Kroos.

And, during an interview with German outlet Sport Bild, midfield icon Kroos went on to admit:

“Wirtz could adapt to any team, including Real Madrid. With his quality, I think it’d be a great addition.”
