Toni Kroos says he was never going to leave Real Madrid for another club.
The veteran midfielder is in talks about a new deal as his current contract runs down this season.
Kroos said, "Everything is on the right track, but I also respect what the club wants: how and when it communicates.
"There is a good relationship that I have with the club over the years... And this issue has already been discussed for a while.
"There is absolute trust on both sides. The club knew from the beginning that it was not going to do anything stupid. Theoretically, I can sign for another team from January 1, but we didn't even start with this nonsense.
"There is a lot of confidence there. Most likely, it will continue like this for a while."
