Real Madrid and Germany’s legendary midfielder Toni Kroos is set to retire after Euro Cup 2024 .
The 34 years old announced this decision in his Instagram saying, “After 10 years, at the end of the season this chapter comes to an end.
I would particularly like to thank everyone that welcomed me with an open heart and trusted me. But especially I would like to thank you, dear Madridistas, for your affection and your love from the first day until the last one.
At the same time this decision means that my career as an active footballer will end this summer after the European Championship. As I have always said: Real Madrid is and will be my last club. I am happy and proud, that in my mind I found the right timing for my decision and that I could choose it by my own. My ambition was always to finish my career at the peak of my performance level.”
Kroos announced his return to international football with Germany in February ahead of the Euros, having previously retired from international duty in 2021.
By 34, he has decorated himself with a World Cup, 5 Champions Leagues titles, 6 Club World Cups, 3 Bundesliga titles, 4 La Liga titles, 5 UEFA Super Cups, 3 German Cups, 1 Copa del Rey title, 4 Spanish Cups, 1 German Cup.
Kroos will thus end up with one of the greatest and most decorated German midfielder in professional Football.
