Former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola is set to take over at the helm of Bayern Munich in the summer, ending Heynckes' three-year association with the club.
Kroos told Bild that he hoped for the 67-year old to close his time at the Allianz Arena with some trophies.
"He deserves a great farewell. We should win at least one trophy for him. We are all desperate to win a major title again. We have not experienced the feeling of winning something for two years now," Kroos stated.
"We all want to end this season on a high. Not just for the team, but also for Jupp."
Bayern's nine-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga has made them the bookmakers' favourite to win the title this season, a position Kroos' form has played a big part in helping the club achieve. Nonetheless, the German international believed he has yet to reach his full potential.
"I can't deny that I'm playing some of the best football of my career. I have really made a step forward and a lot of things are going well at the moment," he shared.
"However, I have not reached the end of my development yet. I cannot afford to sit back and rest on my laurels now."
Bayern Munich will play Stuttgart in their Bundesliga fixture this weekend.
