Madrid announced the transfer on its website, describing Khedira as “a dynamic midfielder who can cover a lot of ground and can quickly join in attack.”

Stuttgart had said earlier Friday that the two clubs had agreed on the transfer, but did not disclose financial details.

Stuttgart managing director Fredi Bobic said the club was reluctant to let the 23-year-old Khedira go, “but we can understand Sami’s wish to further his career at Real.”

Speculation that Khedira might move to Madrid had swirled since he was praised for strong performances at the World Cup.
