Both Modric and Kroos have been a main stay in the Madrid midfield for years, winning major titles in the process.
Reacting to Kroos’s announcement Modric in a statement posted on transfer expert Fabrizio Romano’s X handle:“Having a hard time writing these words. The football world is sad because a historic footballer is leaving, and I admit you, I am also very sad. Man you are a legend of this sport and a legend of Real Madrid.
