Barcelona star the latest to send retirement message to Toni Kroos | OneFootball

A headline member of the first-team ranks at Barcelona has on Wednesday put club rivalries to one side, to wish Real Madrid star Toni Kroos all the best in his retirement.

Midfielder Kroos, of course, sent shockwaves across Spanish football a little over 24 hours ago.

As much came upon the 34-year-old making public his decision to hang up his boots this coming summer.

After seeing out the final two fixtures of Real Madrid’s campaign, Kroos will take to the pitch for the final time in his home country of Germany at Euro 2024.

And, on Wednesday, one of those set to join the maestro in Julian Nagelsmann’s squad has added to the long list of high-profile names to have sent a message of appreciation to Kroos.

The player in question? Marc-André ter Stegen.

Taking to his official Instagram account, Barcelona shot-stopper Ter Stegen congratulated his fellow countryman on a ‘great career’, before confirming that he will see Kroos soon for ‘the last dance’ at the European Championships:
