# Everton: ‘Fantastic’ central midfielder considering Everton offer

**According to a recent report, Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira is weighing up an offer from Everton with the view to a potential January move.**

The report by [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/la-juve-ha-fretta-khedira-non-decide-le-proposte-e-il-nervosismo-46283) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/player-evaluating-offer-from-everton-for-january-transfer-club-want-to-offload-as-soon-as-possible/)) claims that Khedira is considering offers from the Toffees and VfB Stuttgart ahead of a potential January move, as the midfielder has found himself left out of Andrea Pirlo’s first-team plans in Turin so far this season.

The [£1.8 million-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sami-khedira/marktwertverlauf/spieler/29401) midfielder has played under Everton boss, Carlo Ancelotti, previously, making [35 appearances under the Italian](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sami-khedira/leistungsdatentrainer/spieler/29401) while the pair were at Real Madrid.

And, it would appear that a reunion may be on the cards, as Juventus are reported to want the Germany international’s [£184k per week wages](https://salarysport.com/football/serie-a/juventus/) off of their books as quickly as possible.

### Transfer Tavern Take

Considering the fact that Everton only signed both of Ancelotti’s now typical midfield pairing Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan [last summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-everton/transfers/verein/29), as well as the fact the Italian can call upon the likes of Andre Gomes, Tom Davies, Fabian Delph and Beni Baningime to [operate from the centre of the park](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-everton/kadernachposition/verein/29), signing a 33-year-old Khedira, who is likely to be demanding rather high wages, does not seem like an overly forward-thinking step move by Everton.

However, if Ancelotti is keen on a reunion with the player he has previously described as a ‘[fantastic professional](https://www.football365.com/news/khedira-in-contact-with-ancelotti-over-potential-everton-move)‘, then who are we to disagree with the 61-year-old?
