# Sami Khedira Open to Carlo Ancelotti Reunion

Juventus midfielder [Sami Khedira](https://readwestham.com/2020/11/19/sami-khedira-keen-to-leave-juventus/) has handed Everton a surprise transfer boost after it emerged that the 33-year-old outcast is keen on a reunion with his former manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Ancelotti managed the former Germany international during his spell at Real Madrid, where Khedira [won the Champions League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sami-khedira/erfolge/spieler/29401) under the Italian’s tutelage.

In that same summer, Khedira made history by lifting the 2014 World Cup with Germany, further indicative of his winning mentality. The midfielder has since been a [five-time Serie A](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12135702/sami-khedira-juventus-midfielder-says-joining-premier-league-would-be-an-honour) champion since moving to the Turin giants in 2015.

However, the 33-year-old is now an outcast at Juventus and has [yet to feature](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sami-khedira/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/29401) under new manager Andrea Pirlo this season.

Reports via [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12135702/sami-khedira-juventus-midfielder-says-joining-premier-league-would-be-an-honour) have suggested that Khedira, who continues to train with Juventus, refused to sign a termination agreement to shave funds off the Turin outfit’s wage bill, something the midfielder denies. However, he admitted that the club told him they wanted to move in a ‘different direction’.

Khedira has since indicated that he holds a burning desire to play in the Premier League, even calling it an ‘honour’ to have the chance to play in the English top flight. He told *Sky Germany* \[via [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12135702/sami-khedira-juventus-midfielder-says-joining-premier-league-would-be-an-honour)\]:

> When I was a child it was always a big dream of mine to be a Premier League player.
>
> I am really happy and satisfied with my career until now but one thing is still missing because I always had this dream and it has never come true… to be a part of the Premier League.
>
> I have watched so many Premier League games since I was young \[but\] even now I am following the Premier League a lot.
>
> I enjoyed always to play with my teams to play in the Champions League against the English clubs. The atmosphere, the style and idea of football has always impressed me.
>
> If it is possible it will for sure be a really big dream \[come true\] and honour to be a part of the Premier League.

On the Everton manager, Khedira [added](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/juventus-khedira-transfers-everton-ancelotti-19313429): “There are many coaches, even in the Premier League that I respect a lot. Ancelotti is doing a great job at the moment and is a great personality. He is one of the coaches who impressed me also.”

His contract [expires](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12135702/sami-khedira-juventus-midfielder-says-joining-premier-league-would-be-an-honour) in the summer.

### Read Everton Verdict

Khedira could add plenty of experience and leadership to the Toffees, and his contract situation renders him a bargain buy.

As a result, he could be a shrewd acquisition by the Toffees, especially with Khedira favourable to a reunion with Ancelotti.
