Sami Khedira has confirmed that Real Madrid turned down Manchester United’s €40 million offer for him before the transfer window closed. “The club turned down the offer and that was it,” the 26-year-old told a press conference for the German national team in Munich on Tuesday. “We didn’t really have the chance to discuss it. I had a longer chat with Carlo Ancelotti a few weeks ago and it was relatively clear to me that I’d stay at Real.” “Personally, I feel bad about Mesut’s transfer,” he said. “We are very, very good friends. “His departure is a loss also from a sporting perspective. Mesut can make the difference.” “He has signed for an outstanding club with a great coach, who knows how to work with young players,” Bierhoff said. “For his future sporting development, this is the right step. It is an important step for him, especially as it is a World Cup season.”
