Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has decided to delay making an announcement on his future at the club, according to a report.

The 32-year-old has spent the last eight years at the Santiago Bernabeu, but he will soon be entering the final year of his contract.

According to Marca, Kroos is happy at Los Blancos and is open to the prospect of finishing his career in the Spanish capital.

However, the Germany international feels that he needs more time to assess the next step in his career before agreeing to sign a new one-year contract extension, which Real have allegedly offered the midfielder.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti is keen for Kroos to remain at the Bernabeu as he views the experienced midfielder as an 'indispensable' member of his first-team squad.

Since joining from Bayern Munich in 2014, Kroos has made a total of 362 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions and has won 16 trophies, including three La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues. body check tags ::
