Toni Kroos Reveals One Key Reason for His Decision Not to Play in Saudi Arabia

Toni Kroos has emphatically closed the door on any potential move to the Saudi Pro League, emphasizing his stance against the football exodus to the region.

In a clear statement, Kroos expressed, “It is said that people play ambitious football there, but it’s all about money. It is starting to be difficult for the football that we all know and love.” He further elaborated, stating, “I would never go to Saudi Arabia because of the lack of human rights.”

Kroos was reportedly approached by Saudi clubs when his contract with Real Madrid was approaching its expiration this summer. However, he made his intentions clear to Real Madrid, opting to stay with the club.

In recent times, the Saudi Pro League has witnessed a significant influx of football superstars, notably Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, who made high-profile moves to Saudi Arabian clubs. Kroos’ resolute stance against such a move underscores his commitment to principles beyond the allure of financial incentives, aligning himself with the cause of human rights.
