Schalke 04 manager, Roberto Di Matteo has opened his arms wide to Bayern Munich's  Sami Khedira if he chooses to join the club.

Khedira, who has fallen out of favour with coach Carlo Ancelloti after clinching the la decima last season is subject move away from the Bernabau if the Galacticos does not offer him  a contract extension.

The world cup winner's contract is due at the end of this season, but he has equally lost his position to the likes of Luka Modric, Isco, James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos all ahead of him in the pecking order at Santiago Bernabeu.

Reports emerged this week to suggest Schalke had firmly entered the race to sign the Germany international and Di Matteo admits he is a big fan of the 27-year-old.

"Everyone knows he is a great player. If he wants to come, the doors are open," he told reporters.
"Khedira is a world-class footballer."

Earlier this week, Schalke sporting director Horst Heldt refused to be drawn in to the speculation but admitted he is exploring potential options for the summer.

"I read that we are interested in Sami, but I never get into the speculation game," said Heldt.

"There are many interesting players in the market."
