Carlo Ancelotti has raised the tantalising prospect of a reunion with Sami Khedira as he refused to rule out a move for the Juventus midfielder.
Ancelotti worked with Khedira when Real Madrid manager and has been persistently linked with the 33-year-old, who will become a free agent at the end of the season when his contract expires.
Juventus, however, would be happy for Khedira to move next month and, when asked if a deal was a possibility, Ancelotti provided an answer that was similar in tone to when he discussed the prospect of bringing in James Rodriguez last July.
