On Tuesday, the announcement had the effect of a bombshell: Toni Kroos has decided to hang up his boots at the end of the season. At the end of his contract in a few weeks, the German midfielder, living legend of Real Madrid, has chosen not to extend and to end his career this year. A decision carefully considered throughout the season. As told A.S. in today’s edition, the Madrid locker room tried to convince the German to stay at the club next season.
Dani Carvajal confides that he tried to negotiate with him: “we tried, we tried. But it’s complicated. (…) We know what he is like, his mentality, how firm he is in his decisions. » Despite the requests, the Real Madrid players did not win their case. Toni Kroos will play his last La Liga match this weekend, his last home match, before playing the Champions League final at Wembley and previewing the Euro with his selection for a last goodbye at home.
