The agent of Sami Khedira is very busy right now. The German national team star wants out of Real Madrid, and it looks like he’s going to get it. A move to the Premier League seems likely. He’s been heavily linked to Arsenal all summer. However, it appears Manchester United, Louis van Gaal and Ed Woodward are now keen on Khedira.
At least as a contingency plan. They’re definitely much more interested in Khedira’s teammate who’s also leaving Los Blancos, Angel Di Maria.
Louis van Gaal is working on a ‘B list’ of targets and Sami Khedira is among them say the Daily Mirror. A good deal? pic.twitter.com/YVxjKvC09U

Die Manschafft won the World Cup by having the most complete and efficient tournament of anyone. And Sami Khedira was perhaps the best midfielder of all in Brazil this past summer. United will face competition from Chelsea, in addition to The Gunners who are the favorite. Given how heavily linked with a move to The Emirates he’s been this summer. There were even premature “reports” about a month ago that Arsene Wenger would unveil as a new member of the team. Sami Khedira has no doubt been the MVP of this transfer window.
He’s going somewhere. That’s happening.
Hey, that’s why they’re transfer “rumors” and “gossip.” They’re not transfer “facts.”
