Juventus GM Beppe Marotta has admitted interest in Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira.

Khedira announced he was leaving Real yesterday.

Marotta said: "Of course Juventus have more appeal and prestige, which attracts the attention of many players.

"Naturally those who are free agents, like Khedira, are important names. We only saw in the papers that Khedira will not renew his contract with Real Madrid.

"It is our duty to keep an eye on the various situations and decide when to take action."
