Toni Kroos To Decide On Real Madrid Contract Extention But Remains ‘Calm’ Concerning Talks With Los Blancos

Toni Kroos won his fifth Club World Cup title with Real Madrid on Saturday but is yet to commit his future to the club.

Toni Kroos is yet to decide whether he will renew his contract with Real Madrid, but the midfielder remains “calm” concerning his talks with Los Blancos.

Kroos started as Madrid wrapped up a record-extending fifth Club World Cup title on Saturday, Vinicius Junior and Federico Valverde both scoring twice in a thrilling 5-3 win over Al Hilal.

While Kroos remains a key player for Madrid, appearing in 17 of their 20 games in LaLiga this term, he is yet to extend his contact at the Santiago Bernabeu, which expires at the end of the season.

Reports in December suggested Kroos would decide whether to pen a one-year extension in February, but the former Germany international is still pondering his future.

“There are different things that you have to think about if you want to continue or not,” Kroos said after Saturday’s win. “I’m thinking about it.

“It won’t take many more months, but there still isn’t a decision.

“We are very calm and there is a relationship between the club and myself that nobody does nonsense. I am very calm.”

Kroos has featured in all five of Madrid’s Club World Cup triumphs, and he says the manner in which Los Blancos qualified – winning a series of dramatic knockout ties en route to last term’s Champions League success – sweetens the achievement.

“To get here you have to win the Champions League and that is what we are going to try to do again, although it is difficult,” he said. “The road is very long.

“Also, remembering how we suffered in the Champions League in the knockout games and in the final, getting here is a prize.

“Here the rivals may not have the quality of the Champions League, but it’s the game of their lives and you have to play a serious game.”
