"You don't want me to be at home more often?" - Real Madrid star reveals hilarious reaction after wife told him to do what he wants

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos joked that his wife doesn't want him at home when the German was deciding whether to extend his contract.

Kroos has put pen to paper on a new one-year deal with Los Blancos. The German has been a mainstay at Madrid since arriving from Bayern Munich in 2014.

However, with a huge decision to make over his future, he went to his wife Jessica Kroos for her opinion on the same. He says that she told him to do what he wants. Kroos reacted to that by jokingly claiming that that meant she didn't want him at home. He said on his podcast (via Madrid Xtra):

"A little thank you to my wife, who told me 'just do what you want'. That surprised me a bit, because you don't want me to be at home more often? (Laughs)."

The German midfielder has become a Real Madrid legend during his nine-year stay at the Santiago Bernabeu. He has made 417 appearances, scoring 27 goals and providing 89 assists. The 33-year-old has won the Champions League four times, La Liga thrice and the Copa del Rey once.

Kroos met his wife during their teens in the Canary Islands, and it was initially not a romantic encounter. However, once they met again in Germany, they realised that it was destiny, per Oh My Football. The couple got married on June 15, 2015, and have three children.
