According to Bild it is true about Kroos. Not surprised. I would not be shocked if Muller and Hummels do the same. Others like Can, Gundogan should hit the road too. Midfield will have some openings come 2022 World Cup. Some players who will definitely get a look for World Cup:
1) Florian Wirtz: a shoe in for the World Cup.
2) Jamal Musiala: got a cup of coffee here, that won't be the case in the World Cup as he should pass Sane, Werner, Gnabry on depth chart.
2) Florian Neuhaus: didn't play a minute here, will in the World Cup.
3) Karim Adeyemi: if knuckleheads Sane, Werner, Gnabry keep their shit up, won't be long before he gets a shot at the top club. Has incredible pace.
4) Mergin Berisha: another Salzurg player like Adeyemi who is getting the Jesse Marsch coaching benefit at Salzburg. Could get shot when Muller retires but probably not in World Cup.
5) Youssofa Moukoko: next stop under 21's. But World Cup 2026 look out. Again another forward where Germany needs competent ones badly.
6) Lukas Nmecha: Germany needs a number #9. He is the best out there right now.
