“Home Sweet Home,” wrote Modric on Twitter.
The 33-year-old Kroos will begin his 10th season with Madrid.
The club also recently extended the contract of defender Nacho Fernández, and bolstered their attack with the loan of Spanish striker Joselu from Espanyol. Forwards Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard and Mariano Díaz are not returning for next season.
