Toni Kroos, Germany team player, and world champion, has recently signed a deal with Real Madrid, and is very excited and grateful for it.

"In my opinion, Real Madrid is the greatest club in the world and for that reason, I didn't really need to think twice [about joining them].

"It's clear that all of those players have enormous quality. Real Madrid have very good players - they always have had. It will be out of this world to play alongside such great players, Real Madrid really has a magnificent team.

"Now I have officially joined Real Madrid and I am extremely happy about that.

"I was absolutely convinced that I had made the right decision to come here when I signed the contract and everything that has happened to me since only confirms that.

"Everything has worked out quickly and easily; I really enjoyed getting to meet the fans - that was a special moment for me and it made me realise I have made the correct decision.

"I have played at the Bernabeu twice with Bayern Munich and it was a magnificent experience. But now, playing at my new home, as a Real Madrid player and with those fans behind me is going to be an even better experience. I know that the atmosphere here is wonderful. I'm looking forward to our home games which I am sure will be very successful.

"I was very impressed with what I saw - the complex is very big and it was also very nice to meet the coach I had already spoken with him and now I cannot wait for August 5 to arrive so that I can start training with the squad and be ready to start playing.

"Carlo (the coach) told me he is very happy to have me here, and that the transfer had gone as planned and also that he was very happy that I had decided to join Real Madrid.

"He said that he was delighted to be able to welcome me on board today and is looking forward to seeing me on August 5 when I will join the squad for training.'
