Revealed: How Toni Kroos announced his retirement to the Real Madrid players

On Tuesday afternoon, Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos announced his retirement from football. The renowned midfielder informed his teammates of his decision through their shared WhatsApp group according to Relevo. While the news came as a shock to many, some players had been aware of Kroos’s intentions since the previous day.

Toni Kroos joined Real Madrid in 2014 for a reported €25m fee and has since won 5 Champions League trophies and a chance for a 6th next week.

The German international, known for his precision on the field and strategic prowess, chose to personally communicate his plans only to fellow midfielder Luka Modric. The two have shared a formidable partnership on the pitch, and in their private conversation, they offered each other mutual support during this pivotal moment in their careers.

Kroos’s departure marks the end of an era for the team, and his presence will undoubtedly be missed by fans and players alike. As the squad comes to terms with this news, they will need to look ahead and adjust to the upcoming changes, both on and off the field.
