Khedira urges Bayern Munich star to join Real Madrid

Schweinsteiger’s current contract at Bayern Munich is set to expire in the summer of 2012 and the midfielder has admitted he could leave the German side.

The 26-year-old has been linked with both Real and Manchester United.

“Bastian has asked me about how things work at Real,” Khedira told German magazine Sport-Bild.

“We had talked before about things Mourinho had said, as we have a very good, open relationship.”

Khedira joined Real Madrid in a 14million euro deal from Stuttgart in July.

“Bastian is one of the few players who would prevail anywhere he plays,” he said.

“I would never give out advice about it: some people want to play for foreign clubs, some don’t.

“Bayern is a great club, one of the best in the world, but I think that experience at a top club abroad doesn’t hurt.”
