In their search for a commanding midfielder this summer, Fiorentina have turned their eyes towards Real Madrid’s Sami Khedira.
The German international had a season to forget as he ruptured his cruciate ligament in November last year, which kept him out of action until the start of this month.
The 27-year-old made his long awaited return from injury in Real Madrid’s 2-0 defeat at Celta Vigo last Saturday as a second half substitute.
Fiorentina have identified signing a top class midfielder this summer as a priority and are willing to sign the German despite an injury-stricken season, according to La Nazione.
