The German midfielder was hoping that fresh terms could be thrashed out with the "best captain I have ever seen", but no deal was done
Toni Kroos admits to being stunned by Sergio Ramos' departure from Real Madrid, with the German midfielder claiming it was "inconceivable" to think the World Cup winner would not end his career at Santiago Bernabeu.
The 35-year-old centre-half will not be hanging up his boots in the Spanish capital, with no extension agreed to his expiring contract.
He is now preparing for a new challenge after 16 seasons with the Blancos, and Kroos admits life with the talismanic captain is going to take some getting used to.
