Toni Kroos Adds Playful Twist to Kylian Mbappe Transfer Speculation

Toni Kroos has injected a playful twist into the ongoing speculation surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid. The German midfielder, known for his candidness, shared his thoughts on his podcast “Einfach Mal Luppen,” which he co-hosts with his brother Felix Kroos.

In a seemingly lighthearted manner, Kroos mentioned, “I have a new dog. What about the turtles? They have not been forgotten. They are not there yet. But they are in the planning, a new dog does not mean that there is no turtle. That’s clear. they will come.”

This comment is widely interpreted as a reference to Mbappe, who is associated with the turtle as a symbol and nickname. The cryptic nature of Kroos’ statement has ignited speculation and discussions among fans and the media.

Kroos is well aware of the dynamics of football media, and it’s possible that he intentionally aimed for this reaction to add a humorous touch to the transfer rumors. As the transfer window’s closing date draws closer, the prospect of Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid gains prominence, particularly considering his current situation at Paris Saint-Germain, where he has been excluded from the first-team squad.
