Sami Khedira not planning January exit from Real Madrid
Table of Contents
Germany midfielder Sami Khedira has no interest in leaving Real Madrid despite reports linking him with a move away from the Bernabéu in January.
The 27-year-old was linked with Arsenal and Chelsea last summer, but was reportedly unable to agree personal terms with the Premier League clubs.
Despite a move failed to materialise, speculation has continued to mount that Khedira will seek to leave the Spanish giants in the next transfer window.
However, Khedira man is adamant that he is happy at Madrid and has no plans to end his spell in the Spanish capital.
He told Kicker magazine: "Right now, I cannot see any reason why I would leave the club this winter.
"Real Madrid is a great club to be at. This club has a place in my heart and there is absolutely no reason for me to say that I want to or have to leave."
Khedira has made just four La Liga appearances from the bench this season due to a combination of a hamstring injury and knee surgery.
The former VfB Stuttgart man added: "I've been injured six weeks and after two training sessions I'm back with the squad again.
"This means that both the club and the coach are counting on me, so when I'm back to 100 percent I'll be a candidate for the starting line-up."
