Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has explained that he would miss teammate Toni Kroos after the Los Blancos confirmed the German’s exit from Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
Kroos will officially leave the Club after the completion of Euro 2024 in July.
Reacting, Modric, in a lengthy post on Instagram, expressed sadness at the news. He also described the former Bayern Munich star as a legend.
“Having a hard time writing these words,” Modric wrote.
“The football world is sad because a historic footballer is leaving, and I admit, I am also very sad. Man, you are a legend of this sport and a legend of Real Madrid.
“I really enjoyed playing by your side. It’s truly been an honour to share Real Madrid’s centre field with you. You have qualities that make you a unique and special footballer, and there will never be another Toni Kroos. Unforgettable European nights, titles, the magic of the Bernabéu—we will never forget this golden time in the club of our lives. You achieved everything but we still have one left; let’s go for the 15th. I’ll miss you, my friend.”
