Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is confident Toni Kroos will eventually sign a new deal.
The Germany international is coming off contract this season, though Ancelotti says he is confident the midfielder will commit to new terms next month.
He said at today's Copa del Rey media conference: "I think that Kroos is quite clear about it and he will be clear about it next month. As a fan it is impossible to think that he is going to stop.
"He has said that he wants to finish his career at Madrid and hopefully he can continue."
Dani Ceballos' contract is also running down.
Ancelotti added: "I do not go into this subject of his renewal. I see him well, plugged in, but the subject of the contract has to be evaluated by the player with the club."
