German midfielder Toni Kroos’s future at Real Madrid is up in the air, and he will decide whether to renew his deal with the Spanish giants.
According to reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Toni Kroos will be the one deciding whether to continue at Real Madrid or leave at the end of the season. The German midfielder has a contract with Real Madrid until the end of this season, and the 32-year-old will have the option to extend his stay until the summer of 2024.
Kroos has been a key player for Real Madrid since joining the club from Bayern Munich, and it remains to be seen whether the Spanish outfit can convince him to stay beyond this summer.
The 32-year-old is still capable of playing at a very high level, and Real Madrid should do everything in their power to convince him to stay. Meanwhile, Luka Modric is nearing the end of his career at Real Madrid as well, and it will be interesting to see how Real Madrid plan for a future without their dynamic duo.
Kroos has won multiple trophies at Real Madrid since signing for the Spanish club, and he has been one of the best midfielders in the world in that time. Replacing a key midfielder like the German playmaker will be a massive challenge for Real Madrid despite their resources. So it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
