Chelsea Faces Competition for Sami Khedira as AS Roma and Fiorentina Join the Race
Chelsea is reportedly keen on signing Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira, as manager José Mourinho looks to bolster his squad with an experienced player. According to Africa Top Sports, the Blues are targeting the 27-year-old German international, whose contract with Madrid expires in a year. Khedira, who has struggled with injuries this season, making only 12 appearances in La Liga, is seen as a key addition to Chelsea’s midfield.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Chelsea could face significant competition for Khedira’s signature. Italian clubs AS Roma and Fiorentina are also interested in the German midfielder, creating a potential bidding war for his services. The interest from these Serie A clubs could complicate Chelsea’s pursuit of Khedira, especially as Mourinho looks to strengthen his options ahead of next season.
With his contract expiring in 2015, Khedira could be available for a reasonable price, but Chelsea’s ability to fend off the competition from Roma and Fiorentina will likely depend on their ability to convince the player that Stamford Bridge is the best destination for his career.
