Real Madrid has reportedly put a hold on the contract renewal of veteran midfielder Toni Kroos, as per sources cited by a prominent news outlet. The 34-year-old German has been in fine form this season, playing a pivotal role in Carlo Ancelotti's midfield as Real Madrid secures a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals and leads La Liga by eight points.
Typically, players over 30 at Real Madrid are offered one-year contract extensions annually. While Kroos' family and the club are keen on him staying, the player himself has not yet made a decision on his future. Kroos mentioned in a recent press conference that he wants to finish his career at a high level and is considering all options, including a potential return to the German national team.
