JAKARTA - Juventus made an offer to veteran midfielder Toni Kroos if he wanted to leave Real Madrid. Kroos' contract in Madrid itself will expire in June 2024.

Kroos is on the crossroads or crossroads. With the contract coming to an end next year, Kroos is already free of transfer and can negotiate with other clubs without Madrid's involvement.

Hanya, midfielder berusia 33 ini belum memutuskan masa depannya. Kroos menyatakan ingin pensiun saat masih berada di puncak atau paling masih dibutuhkan klub.

At a young age, Kroos and Luka Modric are still Madrid's mainstay. He was able to compete with young midfielders who kept coming to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Dan, ini menjadi momen yang tepat untuk pensiun. Artinya, dia bisa hangup sekali saat masih berada di puncak.

However, Madrid still doesn't want Kroos to leave. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has told the former German national team midfielder to stay at Los Merengues.

It's just that Madrid still can't give a contract for more than a year. Kroos' age, who is already over 30, made the club give a short contract.

Even though they are classified as veterans, Kroos is still in demand by other clubs. Juve showed the seriousness of recruiting the former Bayern Munich midfielder. This Italian Serie A giant has submitted a proposal to Kroos if he wants to leave Madrid.

Juve will get Kroos for free because the player's contract is over.

This allows the Bianconeri to offer lucrative offers in the form of high salaries to players who have won the Champions League five times and three times the La Liga champion with Madrid.

While in Bayern, Kroos won the German Bundesliga trophy three times. Together with Die Roten he also won all domestic trophies but had never lifted a wide-eared trophy.

Juve himself seriously brought in players who helped bring Germany to become champions in the 2014 World Cup to strengthen the middle sector. Coach Massimiliano Allegri needs a midfielder full of experience to improve the quality of the line.

Rai Sport journalist Paolo Paganini said that Juve's offer made Kroos feel at a crossroads. Whether to stay in Madrid or try new challenges before closing a career.

"Again, we discussed Kroos. Currently, he is at a crossroads," said the Italian journalist, quoted by TuttoJuve.

"He could have survived and ended his career in Madrid or considered other offers. Including an offer from Juve. I have received confirmation about the offer," he said.

When he accepted the offer, Kroos followed in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo who left Madrid to join Juve in 2018.

Even though it only lasted three years, Ronaldo was still able to bring Ronaldo to the Scudetto twice and once Coppa Italia and twice Supercopa Italiana.

Juve is also not the first to attract players for free. Previously, Juve brought Andrea Pirlo, Sami Khedira and Angel Di Maria without spending a penny. Khedira herself was also taken by Juve from Madrid.
