Arsenal receives major Khedira boost as AC Milan cool interest

 

AC Milan won’t stand as a stumbling block in Arsenal's way in their efforts to sign Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira as they say he is too expensive.

Arsene Wenger's ears will have pricked up this week when Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted the Germany star might move in the summer.

And the Gunners boss will be further pleased to know he will have one less team to beat to the 27-year-old's signature as Milan CEO Adriano Galliani won't pay Khedira's lofty wages.

"Khedira? He would be good but he earns much," Galliani said.

"He is an important player but we do not know if he will renew with Real Madrid or not and if he does not renew he is asking for a very high salary."
