Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has revealed that he is ready to 'fight' for a crucial role in his side next season, having held private talks with manager Zinedine Zidane, and is not threatened by the potential arrival of Paul Pogba to the Santiago Bernabeu.
The German international - who extended his contract with Los Blancos until 2023 on Monday - has reinforced his loyalty to the club whilst admitting that he was reassured by the manager that he'd play an 'important role' in the squads rebuild for the 2019/20 season.
When Zidane returned to the Bernabeu following the departures of Santiago Solari and Julian Lopetegui, there were questions as to whether Kroos would be involved in the Frenchman's plans for the Spanish club.
