Arda Güler is currently having a strong season at Real Madrid – and Toni Kroos is a big fan. The Real Madrid legend believes the jewel has a great future.
Toni Kroos believes in a successful career for Turkish star Arda Güler, with whom he played together at Real Madrid for one season. Kroos is confident about Güler’s current development, who is receiving greater trust under coach Xabi Alonso.
“I am happy that he is getting significantly more playing time for the first time this year, because he deserves it from a footballing point of view and is a boy you can rely on in the future,” said the six-time Champions League winner in an interview with SPORT1 .

However, he does not see the 20-year-old as his own successor. “I don’t believe in comparisons,” the 2014 World Cup winner made clear, arguing: “Arda is also a different type of player than me. His best position is much more offensive than mine, so it’s not about my success at all.”
Kroos on Güler: “He has a really fine foot”
The development that the young playmaker is currently undergoing makes Kroos positive. “I am generally happy because he is a good boy,” emphasizes the 35-year-old, who ended his career after the 2023/24 season.
Güler, who moved from Fenerbahce to the Royal Whites in the summer of 2023 and mostly only played sporadically in his first two years, is flourishing this season and already has nine goal involvements in 16 appearances across all competitions.
“He has a really fine foot, which he has already used to great advantage for Real several times this season,” Kroos praised the Turkish international, to whom he wishes only the best. “That’s why I hope that he continues to get constant playing time, because that’s the only way to improve.”
If he continues to get the chances, Kroos has no doubt: “Then I am sure that he can shape many years at Real.”
