Sami Khedira: Joining Juventus
Juventus will sign Germany midfielder Sami Khedira on a four-year contract from Real Madrid on July 1.
The 28-year-old moved to La Liga from Stuttgart for an undisclosed fee in July 2010 but will soon be out of contract, allowing him to move for free.
Sami Khedira: Leaving Real Madrid this summer
Khedira scored eight goals in 146 appearances for Real and helped secure silverware during his five-year spell at the Bernabeu, winning the Spanish League and Champions League, as well as the Copa del Rey on two occasions.
He has also enjoyed a successful international career, captaining the Germany U21 side to the European Championship crown in 2009.
Khedira was also a crucial part of the Germany squad which won last year’s World Cup in Brazil, scoring in the 7-1 defeat of the host nation in the semi-final.
He was forced to miss the final victory over Argentina though, after suffering an injury in the warm-up at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Khedira’s arrival in Turin could hasten the departure of Andrea Pirlo, who is expected to complete a move to MLS side New York City FC
