The World Cup winner left German champions Bayern Munich during the summer to join Real Madrid, a deal worth £20m, and has so far impressed during his start to life at the Bernabeu.
Kroos was close to signing for Manchester United last summer, but the 24 year-old has confirmed that the only English club he would have joined is Chelsea.
Speaking to German outlet Die Welt, Kroos said: “I’m happy to have been given the chance to try something new. Even though it’s only been a short while I feel like it was the right decision.
“Madrid is a special club and the challenge I was looking for after my long and successful career at Bayern. Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona and Chelsea are the four biggest clubs at the moment, so I would only have swapped one for another.”
