Kroos announced his retirement from international football following Germany’s Euro 2020 elimination to England on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old – who played every minute at the Euros – is said to be stepping back from international football to prolong his domestic career, which he wants to end in Spain.
Kroos has decided that after 106 caps won for his country he is finished with international football and will play no part going forward for Hansi Flick’s side.
Kroos made his debut for Germany back in 2010 and eyebrows have been raised at his decision given he is just 31 and has many years left at club level.
With the World Cup in Qatar next year – due to the Euros being delayed 12 months due to the Covid pandemic – many expected players to stick around for another run at an international trophy.
But Kroos, who won the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, wants more time with his family and also to give himself the best chance of extending his club career.
In addition, Kroos says he feels more appreciation by the Bernabeu fans than that of the German national team.
