Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira says he refuses to rule out the possibility of making a switch to the Premier League.

Sami Khedira remains open to the idea of a Premier League move and insists he hasn’t lost contact with Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti.

The Germany international looks prime for an exit from Juventus sooner rather than later as he has grown out of favor at the Serie A club.

Khedira has no issue with Andrea Pirlo’s decision but insists he is eager to get back on the pitch.

The 33-year-old has been linked with Everton and Tottenham, having worked under Toffees coach Ancelotti and Spurs boss Mourinho earlier in his career.

The Premier League is an attractive option for the midfielder who remains hopeful Juve can help ease his way out of Turin.

“If the opportunity arises to move to the Premier League, that’s an option,” Khedira told ZDF.

Speaking on his relationships with Mourinho and Ancelotti, Khedira said the lines of communication are open.

“There are talks and an exchange,” Khedira said when asked if he had been speaking to Mourinho and Ancelotti. “We never lost touch after our time together at Real Madrid.”

Khedira has given over five years’ excellent service to Juventus, and he remains committed to helping the club.

He does not want his current exile to sour his relationship with the club and their supporters.

“If you can’t do it on the pitch in games, you can do it in training and off the pitch,” added Khedira. “When I go, I want Juve and their fans to remember me as a great player.”

“There was no offer to terminate the contract. There was no talk of financial issues.”
