Kroos has worked his way back into Madrid's XI this season, making 20 starts for Carlo Ancelotti's side in La Liga. It serves as a contrast to last season, when Ancelotti admitted that the midfielder should prepare for a "moment of transition" in the Spanish capital.
WHAT TONI KROOS SAID
The midfielder has previously left his future up for debate, suggesting as recently as March 19: "Many things are not clear about what will happen after the Euros. I don’t even have a club contract for next season yet. I would have to clarify that first."
