Toni Kroos has been under contract with Real Madrid since 2014. And the 2014 World Cup winner has clear ideas about what the end of his active career should look like – namely, also in the jersey of the royals.
Toni Kroos is currently thinking about being a Real Madrid player until the end. The professional, who retired from the German national team after the 2021 European Championships, openly admitted in an interview with the Spanish TV channel “RTVE” broadcast on Thursday that he would very much like to end his active career as a professional footballer with the Blancos.
“That is my idea. And if that’s the club’s idea, that’s how it will be,” said Kroos, who is “very happy here “ And not just him alone, “but also my family,” added the 32-year-old central midfielder, whose current contract with the Royals runs for just under a year and a half until 30 June 2023. However, the former Bayern and Bayer professional did not say when exactly Kroos, who was born in Greifswald, wants to end his career.
German Champions League record man
Kroos had moved from Munich to Madrid for around 30 million euros in 2014 after the World Cup triumph with the German team in Brazil, because he had not been able to agree on a contract extension at Säbener Straße, which had initially been considered.
He has since won the La Liga championship twice and the Champions League three times (2016, 2017 and 2018) with current league leaders Real. Having previously triumphed in Europe’s top flight with Bayern in 2013, the 173-time Bundesliga player and 230-time La Liga performer is the only German player to have won the title four times.
Kroos promotes Mbappé
As an aside, the midfielder also recommended that his employer sign Kylian Mbappé in the summer. The Paris Saint-Germain man and 2018 World Cup winner has been on the Real bosses’ list for some time anyway. Kroos said: “He is an absolute top player, and that is exactly the kind of player we want here. It’s no secret that Real want to sign him. “
