The German World Cup winner Sami Khedira has revealed he will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all reportedly interested in his signature.
The 27-year-old has spent five years at the Bernabéu, winning La Liga, the Champions League, the Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Club World Cup, as well as the Copa del Rey on two occasions.
As well as interest from the Premier League, the Bundesliga clubs Schalke and Bayern Munich are also reportedly in the hunt but while Khedira has confirmed his intention to move when his contract expires on 30 June, the midfielder admitted he does not yet have a preferred destination.
“It’s not a decision against Real Madrid. I want to start a new stage in my career and continue to grow,” he told Kicker magazine. “There’s no agreement with anyone nor do I have a preference to go anywhere at the moment. I’ve had a magnificent time in a magnificent team. I’ll do everything I can to keep helping the team in the coming weeks.”
Khedira has made only 17 appearances for Real this season with injuries playing their part while Carlo Ancelotti has preferred to play Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in his midfield. The January arrival of Lucas Silva has also knocked the German further down the pecking order.
