Isco, a former Real Madrid star, has made a heartfelt plea to midfielder Toni Kroos, urging him not to contemplate retirement from football in the near future. Speculation about Kroos retiring surfaced last season, only for the German to commit to a one-year extension with Real Madrid, following in the footsteps of Luka Modric. This season, Kroos has been a prominent figure for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, featuring in 30 matches across various competitions. After a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in La Liga, the 34-year-old shared his pride in the team’s performance on Instagram, stating, “Proud of the team. We move on.” Among the comments on his post was one from Isco, the 31-year-old Real Betis player and former Real Madrid athlete from 2013 to 2022, who expressed, “Toni please… don’t back down … Let us enjoy you 2 or 3 more years.”
