“We are very close to Khedira and will announce it officially when pen is put to paper,” confessed Marotta after this week’s medical.
The German international midfielder arrives on a free transfer, as his contract with Real Madrid expires next month.
“We moved swiftly and tenaciously because he has everything we were looking for. It is a winning group and we took the opportunity to further raise the quality level.”
With that in mind, the Bianconeri also shrug off any attempts to poach €100m rated Pogba.
“He is a player who had a positive transformation in a very short space of time. Juventus are accustomed to winning and to achieving their targets.
“Pogba is not just a valuable asset for the club, but is also a player who we need to achieve these objectives.”
