Soccer Betting Lines

07/30/2010 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Madrid agreed to a transfer for Germany midfielder Sami Khedira from Stuttgart on Friday. The 23-year-old will sign a five-year contract after undergoing a physical in Madrid.

Khedira emerged in the recent FIFA World Cup in defensive midfield. He grabbed a starting job for Germany, which finished third, when captain Michael Ballack was injured in May and missed the tournament.

"Obviously it's only with the greatest reluctance that you let go an onfield the leader of the standing of Sami Khedira," Stuttgart Sporting Director Fredi Bobic said on the league's website.

"On the other hand, we can appreciate Sami's desire to further develop his career at Real, and we wish him every success with the new challenge he faces in Madrid."

Khedira was one of just four Germans to play in all seven matches at the World Cup. He scored once during the tournament.
