In a moment that has left the football world stunned—and deeply moved—Toni Kroos, the recently retired Real Madrid legend, has sent a touching farewell message to Kevin De Bruyne, who is set to leave Manchester City this summer.
But it wasn’t just words that made headlines.
It was a €100 million villa, gifted by Kroos to the Belgian maestro.
Yes, you read that right. A €100 million seaside villa in Ibiza, handed over as a token of admiration, friendship, and deep respect between two of the finest midfielders of their generation.
Kroos’s message, shared privately but leaked through close sources, read:
“You’ve inspired me more than you’ll ever know. You deserve peace, family, and a view like this. From one midfielder to another—thank you, brother.”
De Bruyne, known for his stoic calm, was reportedly moved to tears upon receiving the gift. After a season plagued by injuries and emotional weight, this gesture from Kroos came not just as a surprise—but as a symbol of pure football brotherhood.
In an era often dominated by egos and rivalries, this moment between two legends reminds us of something far greater:
Respect. Legacy. And the silent bond shared by those who master the game from the middle of the pitch.
