Sami Khedira’s Future Uncertain as Ancelotti Leaves Door Open for Exit
Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira may not be a permanent fixture at the Santiago Bernabéu after all, with coach Carlo Ancelotti confirming the player is free to explore his options ahead of the Spanish Super Cup second leg against Atlético Madrid.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Ancelotti made it clear that while Khedira has not formally requested a transfer, he has also declined to extend his contract, which has just one year remaining. “His situation is different from Ángel Di María’s,” Ancelotti explained. “He hasn’t asked to leave but doesn’t want to renew his contract. We’ll see what happens.”
The German international, who has been highly praised by Bayern Munich honorary president Franz Beckenbauer, is thus in a state of limbo. With the summer transfer window closing on August 31, Khedira’s future remains uncertain, and a move away from Madrid could materialise before the deadline.
Ancelotti’s comments signal that Real Madrid are open to negotiations, leaving fans and clubs alike watching closely to see where the experienced midfielder will end up next season.
