Kroos' retirement could come much sooner than expected

The Real Madrid has depended to a large extent of veteran players in the last years. Players like Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema and Luka Modric have exerting a fundamental paper in the success of the club in the last three or four seasons, although with each one of these players in the final stages of his respective careers, the Madrid has the decision in his hands, when it treats of renewals of agreement.

The current champions of Europe already have the intention to expand the agreement of Benzema to announce it after the ceremony of the Balloon of Gold. And now as it informs Jorge Picón, have offered him also to Kroos a new agreement. The current agreement of the German in Santiago Bernabéu expires at the end of the season and to the age of 32 years, one would expect that the midfield player continued during some years more, especially given the form in that Modric and Benzema have continued his career.

However, Picón suggests that although the Madrid has offered to Kroos an extension of agreement, think that the player is much more near to withdraw that to extend his agreement with the white team. Kroos Extended his agreement for the last time in 2019, signing an extension of four years until 2023. With 375 parties, at present is one of the most experienced players of the staff of Ancelotti, and has begun this course with very good level.

A new stage

Although with the player of 32 years having announced already his retreat of the German selection the past year, many in the dispatch of the Madrid feel that the mediocampista will not play much more time. The possible exit of Kroos at the end of the season could serve like a big hit for the whites, especially with Modric also approaching at the end of his career and already also without Casemiro, traspasado this summer to the Manchteser United.

Although the club has invested a lot in the centre of the field lately, the loss of Kroos and Modric could be complicated to assimilate in the case that both decide not renewing in the same summer. En última instancia, it could see to the Madrid spend a lot in another midfield player, with Jude Bellingham already surfacing like one of the main aims of the club in 2023 and already with Tchouameni, Valverde and Camavinga in staff.
