In 2014, the midfielder's career took another turn when he transferred to Real Madrid. According to unofficial reports, the transfer fee was 25-30 million euros, and the player's salary reached 12 million euros per year. He was given the jersey with the number 8, which was previously worn by the Brazilian footballer known by the nickname Kaká.
Tony happily joined the team of modern legends. The athlete expressed great enthusiasm for his new teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. Kroos admitted in an interview that he had ended his Bundesliga career and could not imagine returning to Bayern Munich.
Immediately after moving, Tony started learning Spanish because he had a hard time in the new country at first. But the support of the fans, who started calling the local-style footballer Antonio, helped him settle down. The first victory with the new team soon followed.
