Stuttgart's German international midfielder Sami Khedira is closing in on a move to Spanish club Real Madrid, the club's sporting director Fredi Bobic confirmed on Thursday.
"It's not often we receive such an offer from Real Madrid," Bobic told the daily Bild. "It's up to Real and us now to reach agreement."
The player's agent Jorg Neubauer added: "It's true he wants to go to Real. He's talking now with Stuttgart."
Khedira was one of the revelations of the 2010 World Cup where Germany finished third, and is under contract with Stuttgart until 2011.
According to media reports Stuttgart are ready to let the 23-year-old leave for 15 million euro, while Real Madrid are ready to pay between 8 million and 10 million euro.
