Real Madrid has extended its cooperation with the team's midfielder Toni Kroos, Italian journalist Nicolo Scira reports on Twitter.

The German midfielder's new deal with the cream of the crop runs until 2025. At the moment, the agreement has been concluded and is awaiting an official announcement.

It is worth reminding that Kroos has been playing for Real Madrid since 2014.

Former Real Madrid player and coach Aitor Karanka shared his thoughts on who will play in goal for Madrid in the Champions League final.

"It is very difficult to choose without seeing the daily work of each of them. On the one hand, you think Lunin deserves it, but on the other, Courtois is the best in the world," Karanka told Marca.

Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido Carrasco and Jesus Navas have agreed to extend the player's contract.

According to the club's press service, the Andalusian legend has signed a new contract that will run until 31 December 2024. After that, Navas will continue to work for the organisation.

"From now on, I am offering him a lifetime contract so that he can play here as long as he wants and then work here in any position because he deserves to be at Sevilla for as long as he wants. I hope that Jesus stays because he deserves it and Sevilla will give him everything he wants at this stage of his career," the president assured.

"I didn't hesitate for a second to accept the offer. Yes, I want to retire at Nervion. I want to continue playing for my Sevilla.

I have always dreamed of finishing my playing career as a Sevilla player, and one more thing: I will not receive a salary for the next few months, as agreed with the president. This is my decision and I have informed the fans, who know all the details," said the 38-year-old.

Barcelona's management has started looking for a new head coach to replace Javi Hernandez.

According to Mundo Deportivo, if the Catalans decide to unilaterally dismiss the coach and his staff, they will have to pay a compensation of €20 million. In the current economic situation of the club, such a decision seems unjustified.

Xavi is reported to meet with Barca president Joan Laporte next week.

Germany's head coach Julian Nagelsmann spoke about Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos.

"When you hug Toni Kroos, his body feels like steel, even though he's not 20 years old anymore. His body is in the best condition it has been in years, that's what he said. He feels no pain, no discomfort, zero problems. He is at his best," Marca quoted Julian as saying.

"Athletic Bilbao announced on its official website that it has extended the contract with head coach Ernesto Valverde.

The 60-year-old's new contract will run until 2025.

In the current campaign, Valverde led Athletic to win the Spanish Cup for the first time since the 1983/84 season.
