According to The Athletic, Toni Kroos informed Carlo Ancelotti of his plans to retire on Monday, which left Real Madrid ‘devastated’.

Toni Kroos is highly rated at the club, and believe he still has a lot to offer Real Madrid for at least the next two seasons.

There has been a lot of messages for the German, since Toni Kroos announced he is leaving football following 10 years at Real Madrid.

Club president Florentino Perez has said: “Toni Kroos is one of the greatest players in the history of Real Madrid and this club is and always will be his home.”
