Chelsea To Swap Hero In Quest For January Midfield Maestro Signing – reports

2 Comments

Chelsea are apparently willing to include Petr Cech in any deal to sign Sami Khedira from Real Madrid, in an attempt to cut the cost of the transfer, as reported by fichajes.net.

The Spanish outlet are suggesting that this could see Blues boss Jose Mourinho reunited with his former charge in the near future.

Chelsea are one of two London based clubs who are chasing Khedira, with Arsenal also thought to be especially interested in his signature.

Real Madrid are also thought to be looking for a new goalkeeper in the near future, with Iker Casillas, who has been a long term fixture in the side, fading with age.

Cech could be an ideal replacement for Casillas, as he is an experienced option who would almost certainly be willing to work with Keylor Navas and rotate.

This could aid Chelsea’s move for Khedira, and with Khedira thought to prefer their financial package, a move could be done in January.

Reports: Arsenal To Fight European Giants In Quest For Khedira

Leave a comment

Arsenal will face stiff competition from Italian giants AC Milan in their quest for Sami Khedira, with the Rossoneri particularly keen on winning the services of the highly talented World Cup winner, as reported by fichajes.net.

The north London club have emerged as the most likely destination for the hugely talented midfielder, with reports in recent days suggesting that the Reds have already agreed a deal with the player ahead of a potential January move.

However, there was previously no indication that Milan were interested, and it remains to be seen if that changes Khedira’s thinking going forward.

An issue for Arsenal is that they are particularly keen to close a deal in January for the player, and if Real aren’t willing to do so, they will face a spate of competition for the player in the summer, when he becomes a free agent.

Chelsea are another club who, for example, would be keen on a move in the summer.

Arsenal Agree £100k-A-Week Deal For January Signing – reports

2 Comments

Arsenal have agreed a deal to pay Sami Khedira £100,000 a week, assuming that they can convince his current club Real Madrid to sell him to them in January, as reported by the Daily Star.

The north London club have targeted Khedira for an extended spell, and Arsene Wenger will surely be delighted to be on the cusp of finally getting his man.

However, the agreement is reliant upon the nature of the transfer.

While Khedira is available on a free transfer in the summer, this would open up significant competition for his signature.

Arsenal’s Premier League rivals Chelsea are one side who have expressed an interest in the World Cup winner.

Real are said to want £15 million for a January transfer, but with Khedira’s contract set to expire, Arsenal will not be willing to pay more than about £10 million.

This is especially the case given that Khedira clearly wants a move.
