Sami Khedira insists he only wants to stay with Juventus.

The midfielder was linked with Arsenal and Wolves this summer.

Khedira said, "I'm convinced that I can get back to being at the highest level, otherwise you'd be talking to a pensioner and not the footballer Khedira. I can play at such a level for three more years.

I haven't talked to any other teams. I know there's many of us and that Juve must sell. At 32 and having played just 17 games last season, I was always going to be scrutinised.

It's always been like that for me, but I've always ended up playing. With Juve, everything was clear from the start of preseason.

I wouldn't leave and I didn't want to leave. I heard I was only staying for the money. That struck me because then the fans believed it. I've never played for money, only to win trophies."
