4 Real Madrid players who definitely won’t be back next season

It can be said with absolute certainty that Toni Kroos will not play for Real Madrid next season. The club legend who has only improved with age feels like 2024 is the year to step down from both club and international football, a decision which Real Madrid respects.

In Toni Kroos' final game as a Real Madrid player, he provided an assist, lifted the Champions League trophy and received a standing ovation. If this does not paint the entire picture of Toni Kroos' incredible career, then nothing ever will.
