Alleged West Ham target Sami Sami Khedira has had his contract terminated with Juventus, according to respected football journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Calcio Mercato claimed back in April that Hammers boss David Moyes wants to bring Sami Khedira to the London Stadium this summer.
And then Sport Mediaset claimed yesterday that Juventus chief Fabio Paratici was in England to discuss potential transfers with West Ham recently.
The problem for West Ham boss Moyes, however, is that he has little money to spend this summer, if any at all.
So with that in mind, it wouldn’t be outside the realms of possibility that the Hammers would pursue a free transfer for Khedira.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the 33-year-old German could now be a free agent:
The former Real Madrid man has won everything there is to win in the game including a World Cup, seven league titles in three different countries and the Champions League.
Khedira is undoubtedly a top class player, and at the age of 33, he has nothing left to prove.
But that is exactly why we should be going nowhere near the Juventus midfielder.
The ageing, injury-prone ace does not fit the profile of player David Moyes wants to bring to the London Stadium.
The Scot clearly has a philosophy and vision for West Ham. And if we are to make genuine progress, he must be true to those ideas.
Khedira is another veteran who would command massive wages in east London. He isn’t the one for us. And his potential availability on a free transfer should not cloud our judgement.
