Midfielder Tony Kroos is expected to be offered a contract extension at Real Madrid, according to a report.
The 32-year-old has made 373 appearances for Los Blancos since signing in 2014, and has been praised for his performances in recent times with Carlo Ancelotti’s side top of La Liga after winning the title last year alongside the Champions League.
According to Football Espana, Kroos will be rewarded with a one-year extension at Madrid, having previously made his desires to retire at the club clear.

Madrid have infamously taken a stern approach towards players over the age of 30, with Kroos’ midfield partner Luka Madrid, now 37, signing back-to-back one-year extensions.
30-year-old Casemiro, who won five Champions Leagues playing in midfield with Kroos and Modrid, recently left the club after nine years to join Manchester United, and there had much much speculation around Kroos’ future, but he is now set to sign a new deal to prolong his career in Spain.
The German’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season.

Kroos has already retired from international football with Germany, and is expecting to hang up his boots for good sooner rather than later.
He recently admitted he could call it quits at the end of this year, saying: ‘I believe that the year 2023 is appropriate [to retire], I will be 33 years old.
‘I will decide whether I will renew for a season or two, that is still open for discussion, but I am completely sure that I will retire at Real Madrid.’
It now seems unlikely he will retire at the end of the season, and he is set to stay on at Madrid for at least another year.
