Carlo Ancelotti's request to Toni Kroos for 2024 that shocks the fans

Toni Kroos is one of the most important footballers in the recent history of Real Madrid. The German joined the team in 2014 and since then has become a pillar for the team from the Spanish capital. However, his contractual situation suggests it could be his last year with the team. Given this situation, the Italian coach of Real Madrid seems to finally have a curious request.

At the beginning of the current season, Toni Kroos reflected on the possibility that this would be his last campaign as an active player, particularly if his role in the project led by Ancelotti diminished, something that ultimately has not been the case, with the German player being a key piece in the white midfield for another season.

Given this level shown, the newspaper AS reports today that the Italian coach has on several occasions encouraged the German midfielder to postpone his retirement for at least one more year, impressed by the football level that Kroos continues to demonstrate despite his career, soon turning 34 years that do not seem to weigh the German player in the least, who has played 439 games with the Real Madrid shirt, achieving 28 goals and 94 assists.

Toni Kroos is still not sure about his future

However, Kroos has chosen to follow the same line as last year: he will wait before making a final decision on his future. This period of reflection will not only consider the option of continuing for another year at Real Madrid, but will also seriously consider the possibility of retiring if he does not decide to extend his career at the Santiago Bernabéu. The German player will take the time necessary to evaluate his situation, analyze his options and determine if he still feels the motivation and passion to continue competing at the highest level of professional soccer.
