According to Football Espana, a media outlet of Spain, Toni Kroos will be given a chance to extend current contract at the Spanish club by Real Madrid. Earlier, Kroos expressed his desire to end his footballing career at the Spanish outfit as he doesn't see any future with any other team in the world after leaving the Royal Whites. After Casemiro's departure from the club this summer, many were of the view that Kroos and Luka Modric might be on their way out of Real Madrid.
