SAMI KHEDIRA

Sami Khedira’s situation at Real Madrid continues to remain unclear as the defender continues to prolong the contract talks. He is now free to talk with clubs from abroad, but he has confirmed that he is happy to stay at the Spanish outfit.

An injury to Luka Modric has kept the Croatian midfielder out of action for the last months. Khedira has been able to get regular first-team action due to this. The 27-year-old is yet to start a Champions League or la Liga match. He has played in less than 100 minutes of action this campaign.

Despite this, the German international continues to be subjected to transfer speculation due to the quality that he provides to a team when fit. Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked with him for long periods of time. (more…)

Sami Khedira made his way out of the hospital yesterday which means there is nothing dangerous about the blow that he had taken on his head playing in the game versus Cornella the other day.

It was a Cup match and was being hosted by Santiago Bernabeu.

Khedira got involved in a collision in the second half of the match. He did not walk off immediately, but, in a couple of minutes’ time, he realized that he was having a bit of a sighting problem and he withdrew himself.

According to the reports, the 27-year old playmaker went to the hospital where he had to stay overnight after being told to do so by the doctors. He was observed by the specialists during the night and then, in the morning, he got discharged.

An official statement released by Real Madrid earlier today confirmed the news.

That statement read, “The results of the tests done on Khedira have been pretty good and he is out of the hospital now.”

However, it has not been specified yet by any of the Madrid officials how many matches Khedira would be missing.

A player generally tends to take a few days to come in normal shape from concussion. It gets better and better with time. Proper resting is necessary and it can be expected that Khedira would be kept out of the scene by the Madrid management in the next couple of games.

As far as that game between Madrid and Cornella is concerned, the Los Blancos, as expected, just smashed the third division side. They secured the win by a margin of five goals.

It was Madrid’s 17^th win in a row this season. They have not lost any game after the defeat against Atletico Madrid in September.

Sami Khedira has one year remaining in his contract with Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti is believed to not include the German midfielder in his plans for the upcoming season, as the club has replacements available in the club. This has attracted the attention of Chelsea who is one of the latest clubs on displaying interest in the 27 year old defensive midfielder.

Carlo Ancelotti is already working hard trying to sign Toni Kroos with a price tag of €25 million and the Spanish club is also setting their eyes on Luis Gustavo from Wolfsburg who plays in the same position as Khedira.

Louis van Gaal is also considering on signing Sami Khedira as he can pair up with some of Manchester United’s latest signings such as Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw. The Dutch manager is prepared on spending big bucks in order to improve his squad for the next season as supporters of the club at Old Trafford want to avoid going through another disastrous campaign and signing an experienced player such as Sami Khedira can help the club on avoiding that.

Even though Sami Khedira is mostly just playing a substitute role in the 2014 World Cup,  he still remains being a player that is only focusing on representing his nation at the international stage and he is not focusing or even thinking about what will happen with his club once the worldwide event concludes.

Once the World Cup finishes, it will be relatively easier for the German midfielder to decide on his future with Real Madrid or any other club that is willing to pay around €20-€40 million and sign him.
