Toni Kroos has denied reports that the arrival of Paul Pogba from Manchester United will make him lose his place in the team.
Kroos told a media conference: “That doesn’t change anything for me. I’ve fought for my place, played well, I don’t think I’ll have any problems to play.”
“I don’t know who’s going to go, I don’t know who’s going to come. I’ve spoken to the manager, I know what his idea is. I’m going to be important, I can’t say anything else.
“I don’t know how many changes there are going to be. I’ve never had any doubts about my future. I want to be here always, and I’ve always said that.”
Pogba is expected to join Madrid as he is reportedly tired of Manchester United’s failure to succeed. However, Kroos does feel confident about his return to form and might not been so keen on giving up his spot so softly.
“Many times, after the game against Ajax for example, I admitted that I wasn’t at my level, I’ve got no problem to say that,” said Kroos.
“I really want to improve how I played but before I played four years consistently well, this year I played worse than the four years before that’s true. I’m still the same player, 29 years of age, and I still have three or four years at the top level I’m sure.
“The idea is to practically finish my career here, at age 38 I don’t think I’ll still be playing. The idea is this will be my last long contract here.”
