By Pérez's decision, the Real Madrid star will wear Toni Kroos' number starting next season – Epl Fantasy

The German midfielder has cemented his place in Real Madrid history and his number 8 has become iconic. As a result, his successor was carefully selected. Florentino put on the Real Madrid shirt after the last game against Real Betis on the last day of La Liga, according to the Spanish network “Defensa Central”.

The German midfielder's legacy at Real Madrid is etched in history and his iconic number 8 will always be cherished. According to Spanish media “Defense Central”, after the recent La Liga match against Real Betis, Florentino approached Valverde and offered him Kroos' vacant number 8 shirt. Without hesitation, Valverde accepted, expressing his gratitude.

Their bond has been evident for years, with Valverde openly expressing his admiration for Kroos. Going forward, Valverde will take on a more prominent role and he is expected to take Kroos' place both defensively and creatively. With no new signings planned in midfield, Ancelotti will have to optimize his squad to compensate for Kroos' absence, a task that requires adaptation and ingenuity.
