FOOTBALL:Toni Kroos agrees contract extension at Real Madrid

• Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has cleared the air about his future at the club
• The former Germany international has agreed to a new deal, to extend his stay at Santiago Bernabeu
• Milan striker Olivier Giroud in other news has signed a new deal with the Serie A club

Toni Kroos is “on the right track” to renewing his contract with Real Madrid.

The former Germany midfielder’s contract with Los Blancos expires at the conclusion of the season, and he has hinted that he may retire this year.

Kroos joined Real Madrid from Bayern Munich in 2014 and has been instrumental in the club’s success during his time there.

The 33-year-old indicated that he intends to extend his stay in the Spanish capital.

He told reporters: “Everything is on the right track, but I also respect what the club wants: how and when it communicates.

“There is a good relationship that I have with the club over the years and this issue has already been discussed for a while.”

Kroos added: “There is absolute trust on both sides. The club knew from the beginning that I was not going to do anything stupid.

“Theoretically, I could have signed for another team from January 1, but we didn’t even start with this nonsense. There is a lot of trusts there. I will most likely stay that way for a while.”
