Toni Kroos came to Real Madrid in 2014. He left behind Bayern Munich, arriving at the club as the World Cup winner and from day one he showed a commitment beyond any doubt.

The German has continued to be a landmark for Los Blancos. Everything in silence, with work and respect, which he has shown once again this season when the leaders of Real Madrid offered him the extension of his contract, which expires in 2023, for another year.

Kroos did not hesitate and said it was not the time, as he initially wants to know how he feels ahead of next season before engaging the club with another year of contract.

His answer was honest, not because he had doubts about his possible performance, but from the principle of loyalty to Real Madrid.

Kroos simply prefers to wait, to see what his body and head say before engaging in Real Madrid, because he does not want to end up as a burden for the club.

The 32-year-old is happy in Madrid, as he is enjoying football and lifestyle. Above all, he has principles and those are loyalty to the symbol he has defended since landing in the Spanish capital.

He has stated on more than one occasion that he does not intend to extend his career as a player for a long time and that he would like to end it at Real Madrid.

Kroos has never created problems for the club and his latest renewal was resolved without lengthy negotiations. This was what both parties wanted and the deal was quickly concluded.

Kroos has never lost his status as a starter since arriving at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Carlo Ancelotti considers the former Bayern player necessary, the player capable of bringing the ball forward and starting things off with his extraordinary vision and passing ability.
