The agent of Sami Khedira has insisted his client is not in talks over a move to Arsenal or Chelsea.
Reports in Spain have claimed Arsenal have agreed a fee with Real Madrid for Khedira and are trying to negotiate down the midfielder’s pay demands.
But when contacted by Telegraph Sport, Khedira’s agent Jorg Neubauer claimed he had not heard from Arsenal or Chelsea.
“We are not in talks with Arsenal,” said Neubauer. “I don’t think a fee can have been agreed, otherwise I would have been told.
“When a club have an interest I am sure they will call me and we will speak about things. The same goes for Chelsea.”
Khedira’s current Real Madrid contract only has a year remaining, which has alerted Arsenal and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho to his potential ability.
“We are talking to Real Madrid about his contract, but nothing is close to being decided,” said Neubauer. “Sami has just returned from the World Cup and has gone on holiday.”
