(CNN) -- Real Madrid are poised to sign German World Cup star Sami Khedira from Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart.
The 23-year-old became hot property after his superb performances in South Africa and Stuttgart confirmed Friday that they had agreed terms with the Spanish giants.
The deal will go through once Khedira has completed a medical in the Spanish capital.
"A true leader and a player who identifies with the club such as Sami Khedira is one that you naturally don't want to let go," Stuttgart director of sport Fredi Bobic was quoted in a statement on their official website.
"But, on the other hand, we can perfectly understand Sami's wish to further his career at Real. We wish him lots of success for his new challenge in Madrid," he added.
