Rumour: Real Madrid look to offload Sami Khedira with Manchester United lurking

Sami Khedira

Real Madrid are ready to offload anchor man Sami Khedira and Manchester United are rushing to make an offer amid expected competition, according to the Express.

The German international was forced to have surgery on a significant injury, but has managed to make the World Cup and played a part in Germany’s 4-0 demolition of Portugal. Louis van Gaal is prepared to make a move to fill a gaping void in the United side. He will have to make a move as soon as possible, however, with Arsenal also keen suitors.

Chelsea have been heavily linked with Khedira as Jose Mourinho eyes a reunion with the man he worked with for three year, but with the signing of Cesc Fabregas it seems Chelsea have opted against making a move for the German.

Carlo Ancelotti is looking to get rid of his man and there are reports that a number of clubs have already opened preliminary talks. The Italian wants to get rid of Khedira as quickly as possible as he eyes up potential replacements for the Germany international.

Real Madrid are eying a move for Chelsea midfielder Ramires and it seems that the Brazilian’s arrival at the Bernabeu could spell the end of Khedira’s time at Los Blancos.

Sami Khedira had a pass accuracy of 92% for Germany in their opening World Cup game against Portugal.
