Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has dismissed talk of him leaving the Santiago Bernabeu this summer to team up with former manager Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.
The Portuguese coach signed the German international when he was in charge at Madrid and the 26-year-old admitted he enjoyed playing under his former boss.
Speculation suggested that Khedira could follow Mourinho to Stamford Bridge this summer but the midfielder insists he is looking forward to the upcoming campaign with Los Blancos.
He said: “I have enjoyed working with him [Mourinho] very much and rate him highly.
“Three years ago he handed me the chance to make the next step from the Bundesliga to Real Madrid as a young international.
“But I am contracted to Real and now I am first of all looking forward to working with Carlo Ancelotti.”
