Real Madrid midfielder Kroos: New contract may not be my last

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos insists his new deal doesn't necessarily have to be his last.

Kroos penned a new deal this week to the summer of 2024.

He told his personal podcast: "We will have to see how we are, if the season goes well, if they tell me to continue and so on. I will ask myself the same questions now and we will decide.

"They could have pressured me to renew, but it was not. At one point I told them what I wanted, so they would be sure of my position. My state of health is good, I can contribute.

"I have always said that it is key for me to retire at a great level, and not crawl on the field. I feel like it's still like this. I am very happy to accept this offer, there is respect between the two.

"One of the people I should thank most for this renewal is my wife. She said 'do what you want'. That surprised me a lot, and I said to her: 'Don't you want me to be more at home or what?'"
