A final day of La Liga, a Champions League final then a Euro with Germany. After these deadlines, Toni Kroos will end his superb career, as he revealed on Tuesday. The end of a golden era in Madrid, he who was one of the main architects of all the Merengues successes in recent years.

Especially since the 29-year-old German international would be keen to leave Bayern and try an adventure in Spain. The player wants to settle his future before the Euro, and if no agreement is found to extend in Bavaria, the Munich leaders will be forced to part with him in the hope of recovering a check rather than seeing him slip away for free.

His footballing qualities are obvious, and Real Madrid would very much like to count on him. However, Manchester City does not need to sell, and his contract expires in 2027, which makes a possible transfer this summer very complicated.
