It’s remarkable to see such recognition from a seasoned player like Toni Kroos towards a rising talent like Fede Valverde. Passing on the symbolic number 8 shirt can signify a transfer of responsibility and legacy within a team, and it speaks volumes about Valverde’s potential and the trust his teammates have in him. 

Real Madrid has a history of nurturing young talents, and Valverde seems poised to carry on that tradition with his skills and dedication on the pitch. It’s a proud moment for both Valverde and Real Madrid fans alike.
