MADRID (AFP) - Real Madrid have offered 20 million euros (31.4 million dollars) to sign Hamburg midfielder Rafael van der Vaart for five seasons, Spanish sports daily Marca said Thursday.
The report comes one day after rival sports daily AS reported that the Spanish champions' cross-town rivals Atletico Madrid had offered 15 million euros for the 25-year-old Dutch international. Real Madrid and the Dutch player are in "total" agreement over the transfer, Marca reported without citing sources. Last week Hamburg's new coach, Dutchman Martin Jol, said he was counting on the midfielder for the next season which gets underway in mid-August. Van der Vaart, who joined Hamburg in 2005 and has a contract until 2010, has said that he would like to play in Spain. "Spain is my preference because my mother Lolita is Spanish," he told Focus magazine in January. The player wanted to join Spanish side Valencia last season but the management of the German team refused to give the move the green light. |

van der vaart would have been the perfect replacement for Deco in Barcelona,ajax72 July 10th, 2008 22:27
RM are going to become totally dutch dependent as was Milan in the late '80s-early '90s when they won back to back CL.gldnbr507 July 13rd, 2008 15:56
The Dutch players are probably some of the best players in the world, its just a shame they can't mesh when playing internationally. The Dutch resume is quite impressive, even more so than most other countries or continents.starfly3r July 16th, 2008 01:22
All RM doing is like what we do in CM games..buy buy buy...USELESS CLUB...Go to hell, Real
