Sami Khedira will move from VfB Stuttgart to Real Madrid and sign a contract subject to passing a medical after both clubs reached agreement on a transfer, the Bundesliga club confirmed Friday.
Stuttgart refused to give details about the size of the fee paid by Real for the 23-year-old midfielder but it is believed to be in the region of 14 million euros (18.3 million dollars), DPA reported.
Khedira's contract with Stuttgart runs until the end of the 2011 season meaning the southern Germans wouldn't receive a cent if the player left at the end of next season.
"It's not easy to lose such a leading player as Sami Khedira," said new Stuttgart sporting director Fredi Bobic.
