The 34-year-old has confirmed his intention not to sign a renewal in the Spanish capital as he looks to make a clean break this summer.
However, after being defeated by international retirement before Euro 2024, it could be a final chapter in his story.
Julian Nagelsmann convinced Kroos to end his international exile in February and admitted it was not easy to secure a recall from the former Bayern Munich playmaker.
“Toni is important for us, you can give the ball at any time. He is an important player for everyone, but especially for the young people in the team,” as quoted by Brand.

Kroos has been named in the starting line-up for tonight's tournament opener as Germany host Scotland in Munich in his 110th international appearance.
