Sami Khedira Nears Real Madrid Exit as Premier League Clubs Circle
German midfielder Sami Khedira appears to be on the verge of leaving Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants reportedly urging the player to find a new club ahead of the season.
According to Marca, Real Madrid have informed the 2014 World Cup winner that he is no longer part of their plans. As a result, both Chelsea and Arsenal are said to be in active discussions to secure his services.
Khedira’s agent is expected to meet with representatives from the two Premier League clubs in the coming days to evaluate the best move for the 27-year-old. A transfer fee in the region of €15 million has been suggested.
The midfielder, who has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, remains a highly rated asset thanks to his experience at the highest levels of club and international football. His potential move to England would reunite him with former Real Madrid manager José Mourinho at Chelsea, or provide a dynamic addition to Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal midfield.
A decision is anticipated shortly, with Khedira’s future likely to be resolved before the close of the transfer window.
