Through an emotional letter and his podcast, Toni Kroos announced to Real Madrid and the fans that he will be leaving the team at the end of the current campaign.

"July 17, 2014, the day of my presentation at Real Madrid, the day that changed my life. My life as a footballer, but above all as a person. It was the beginning of a new life in the biggest Club in the world. Today, after 10 years, at the end of the season, this life comes to an end.

I will never forget this excitingly successful decade!

I would like to especially thank president Florentino Pérez, the Club and everyone who welcomed me with an open heart and trusted me. But above all I want to thank you, dear Real Madrid fans, for your love and support from the first day to the last.

At the same time, this decision means that my career as an active footballer will end this summer after the Euro. As I have always said, Real Madrid is and will be my last club.

Today I am happy and proud to have found in my head and in my heart the right moment for this decision. My ambition was always to finish my career at the top of my level. From this moment on, there is only one main thought in my mind and nothing is going to separate me from this: Let's go for 15!!! HALA MADRID AND NOTHING MORE!"
