A German no, that of Sami Khedira to Juve. No termination of the contract, full stop. At least this is what emerged from the indefinite negotiations, which began months ago and continued daily in recent weeks. Not even the arrival in Turin of Danny Khedira, Sami’s agent brother, did not help to unblock the situation by bringing the Juventus number 6 down to milder advice. That unlike others (see Blaise Matuidi and Gonzalo Higuain) he claimed to stay at Continassa even though he realized he was out of the project, refusing a severance offer which had risen to 50% of the current salary of 6 million net, accepting rather to live other months separately in case. So far he has always trained in a group once he recovered from the injury, while remaining firmly out of the squad, even for a non-match like last Sunday with Napoli who remained in Naples. And now it will be necessary to see how it will react to another exclusion, the one already announced and which will become official in the next few hours: for Khedira there will not even be room in the Champions list. PREVIOUS – Instead, Juve should insert Gianluca Frabotta, as an emergency alternative for the left wing. A deterrent that did not bring any immediate results even last season, when the immediate break with Mario Mandzukic and postponed with Emre Can was reached, but without the “threat” of the Champions list being able to find a solution in time for the market closure. Similar and different situations, at this point a termination of the contract by 5 October would also have helped Khedira not to remain stationary at least until January. He will console himself with four months of full salary, looking for new deals along the way. In hindsight, that late summer 2018 renewal turned out to be a mistake. In retrospect, Sarrian’s confirmation of last season at the expense of Emre Can also turned out to be an even bigger mistake.
