Toni Kroos, Real Madrid and Germany midfielder, has revealed why he decided to end his professional football career after the 2024 European Championship.
Kroos said to Marca:
I didn't want to have the feeling that the people around me had to tell me that it's over. Or that I would end up sitting here on the bench for another two or three years. That, in some ways, wouldn't be worthy of a career, so I'm glad, that I was able to avoid all those things.
May 21, German midfielder of los Blancos confirmed the information about his decision to retire after the European Championship in 2024.
Kroos has been playing for Real Madrid since 2014. In total, he spent for the team 463 matches in all tournaments, scored 28 goals and made 98 effective passes. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is €12 million.
