London, Aug 12 (IANS): Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu for German midfielder Sami Khedira.
The German international was a subject of transfer rumours linking him to three English clubs - Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
Ancelotti, however, has denied outright any move away for Khedira.
"He’s not leaving, he’s a Real Madrid player. He has a contract until June 30, 2015 and that’s all there is to say," the former Chelsea and AC Milan manager was quoted as saying by Daily Mail.
The German World Cup winning midfielder has just one year left on his contract and if reports in Spain are to be believed, the 27-year-old has turned down the club's latest contract offer.
If Khedira refuses to sign a new deal, then the Spanish giants are in danger of losing him for free next summer.
