Khedira leaves the Santiago Bernabeu not on the best terms with certain members of the board after he claimed last month that he was frozen out of the squad towards the end of the season after indicating he would not be signing a new deal [via Mail Sport].
However, the highlight of his five-year spell with Los Blancos was being part of the squad that clinched ‘La Decima’ (a 10th Champions League title) last season against Atletico Madrid.
