Kroos: Messi’s transfer is in the interest of Real Madrid ... and "Ronaldo is the best"
Real Madrid player Toni Kroos said that the possible departure of Lionel Messi from Barcelona will be in the interest of the royal club.
"If a player like this no longer belongs to the ranks of an opponent, it can be concluded that we do not see this as a bad thing," Tony Crosse said in an interview with his brother Felix Kroos in the latest podcast on the "Infakh Mal Le Pen" website published on Wednesday.
He added that Messi's departure from Barcelona means that the Catalan team will miss an important weapon.
The conflict between Real Madrid and Barcelona has been going on in the Spanish League for decades.
Reports indicate that Messi (33 years) is close to joining Manchester City, to play again under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, his former Barcelona coach.
Messi announced a few days ago that he wanted to leave Barcelona, and the day before yesterday, he missed the team’s training for the second day in a row, in the second training session for Barcelona under the leadership of his new coach Ronald Koeman in preparation for the new season.
Toni Kroos, who was crowned with the German national team in the 2014 World Cup, described Messi as "one of the best players ever," while Cristiano Ronaldo, his former Real Madrid teammate, is the best.
