Although Premier League clubs are widely touted to be frontrunners to sign the German international, there is also a possibility that Khedira will opt for the Serie A club.

According to a report in La Nazione, there could be a twist for the two English clubs as the 27-year-old midfielder&rsquo;s partner Lena Gercke favours a move to Italian city Florence over London. Gercke, winner of Germany&rsquo;s Next Top Model competition, feels moving to Florence will be more beneficial for her career.
Time together Khedira has been in a relation with Gercke, who is also a television host, for three years. She reportedly spends most of her time with the Real Madrid star in the Spanish capital.
Khedira played a part in Germany&rsquo;s spectacular 2014 World Cup triumph but was absent for the final after succumbing to injury while warming up at the Maracana.&nbsp;However, despite the intense transfer speculation, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti tried to downplay talk before the Super Cup final last week.
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s not leaving, he&rsquo;s a Real Madrid player. He has a contract until June 30, 2015 and that&rsquo;s all there is to say,&rdquo; he was quoted as saying in the media.
