Chelsea have been linked with the Germany international since Jose Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge last year as the midfielder was a key player for the Portuguese manager during his time in charge of the Bernabeu giants.
Real Madrid splashed out big to sign two young central midfielders, Isco and Asier Illarramendi, last year, while Xabi Alonso has signed a new contract and Luka Modric has become an integral first-team player under Carlo Ancelotti.
As such, Khedira could be made available for sale, with Bild claiming Real Madrid are willing to listen to offers of around £20.5m for the 27-year-old.
Chelsea are not the only club expected to pursue the former Stuttgart man, with Roma and Fiorentina also on his trail. It is believed both Italian clubs have made tentative enquiries to Real Madrid.
Khedira missed six months of action this season with a cruciate knee ligament injury and made his return to Real Madrid’s starting line-up in their 2-0 defeat at Celta Vigo last weekend.
