The doubts raised about the departure of the star of Real Madrid after the announcement of Toni Kroos

On Tuesday, Toni Kroos announced that he would retire from football after this summer's European Championship in his homeland of Germany. It means his final Real Madrid game will be the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund in 10 days' time, with his final Santiago Bernabeu appearance set for this weekend.

Kroos is expected to be the second Real Madrid veteran to leave in the summer, after Nacho Fernandez, whose decision to leave was widely reported a few weeks ago. However, the route went cold, which led Brand wondering if the 34-year-old still intends to leave, especially considering that the official announcement has not yet come.

In fact, the report claims that Nacho is no longer certain to leave Real Madrid, and is still considering his options. It seems more likely than before that he will stay for at least another season.

Nacho's stay would be good news for Real Madrid. They already wanted to keep him, having proposed a new contract, and that it was very unlikely that Leny Yoro will arrive this summer, will allow an extra option for Carlo Ancelotti in the center of the defense.
