Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admits they want Sami Khedira to stay.

The midfielder, off contract in June, has refused to discuss new terms with Real.

Ancelotti said: "That is the will of the club, but then there is a negotiation. Technically speaking, I can say that we need him."

He added: "Khedira is not yet ready. He needs to work for a few days. He will be [ready] next week."
