The Gunners are baulking at the cost of a swoop for the Germany star

Arsenal have already signed Alexis Sanchez and are close to completing a
deal for France and Newcastle defender Mathieu Debuchy
Arsenal are baulking at the total cost of a swoop for Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira.
Khedira, who has just 12 months let on his contract at Real, features highly on Arsene Wenger’s midfield hit list.
The club have made enquiries to gauge the cost of a deal for Khedira.
And despite the German remaining a target, the financial outlay
attached to the deal has cast doubt on a potential move.
The 27-year-old could cost in-excess of £20million despite the fact he has just 12 months left to run on his Madrid contract.
In addition, Khedira is understood to want at least £150,000-per-week, a package that would make him Arsenal’s best paid player.
Arsenal have the financial capacity to complete such a move but
committing £60million (including wages) to land Sanchez has taken a
significant sum out of Arsene Wenger’s transfer budget.
Wenger is also hugely interested in Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Lars
Bender. And a move for the Germany international is likely to have less
strain on the club’s finances.
Gunners chiefs have already made contact with Leverkusen executives
about their interest in Bender. Should a move for Khedira or Bender not
materialise, Arsenal will turn to Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin in
their search for a new central midfielder.
