For months the debate has continued as Real Madrid searches for the ideal replacement for Toni Kroos. The German footballer’s contract with the club ends in the summer of 2023.

But Marca (h/t Fichajes) revealed he would decide in February whether to remain at the club or choose a different part.

Kroos, who has been outstanding for the Spanish capital club, will find it hard to maintain a starting shirt if he decides to remain at the club as head coach Carlo Ancelotti would have other options.

Who is Toni Kroos’s replacement?

In search of a replacement, Los Blancos has options on the table. Eduardo Camavinga is an option, but some doubts surround the Frenchman, who plays a different football to Toni Kroos.
