Sami Khedira open to staying longer at Hertha

Sami Khedira's contract with Hertha BSC initially runs for four months, but the 33-year-old doesn't want to rule out staying beyond the summer.
On Monday, Sami Khedira sealed his return to the Bundesliga, penning a deal with Hertha BSC until the end of the season.

Speaking at his official presentation at the German capital club, the 33-year-old midfielder said he can imagine staying even longer if things go well for him in the coming months.

"We have agreed to work together over the next four months. But that doesn't mean it has to end afterwards," said Khedira, who has joined Hertha on a free transfer from Juventus.

At Hertha, the veteran has been reunited with his former Germany teammate Arne Friedrich, who is serving as Hertha's sporting director.

"I have a particular good relationship with Arne, and there is great trust between us. We've known each other for a very long time and have spoken openly and honestly," said Khedira.
