Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos has revealed that he will retire from professional football following Germany’s Euro 2024 campaign.
Kroos, 34, shared his decision publicly, emphasizing his desire to end his illustrious career on a high note. “I am convinced that it is the correct decision. I wanted to end it in the best way possible and this season is one of the best I have played,” Kroos stated.
“My goal was to finish in the best way, this season has been one of my best. I want you to remember me as I am now.”
The midfield maestro has enjoyed a glittering career, particularly since his transfer to Real Madrid from Bayern Munich in July 2014.
During his tenure with Los Blancos, Kroos has been instrumental in their success, contributing to four La Liga titles and four Champions League triumphs. His vision, passing accuracy, and tactical intelligence have made him a cornerstone of Real Madrid’s midfield for the past decade.
Internationally, Kroos has also made a significant impact.
He was a key player for Germany when they won the World Cup in 2014, cementing his legacy as one of the finest midfielders of his generation.
