No Real Madrid says Van der Vaart
Hamburg star Rafael van der Vaart insists there is no truth in the reports linking him to Real Madrid.
Spanish newspaper Marca claimed that Real were about to table a 20million euros (£16million) bid for the Holland ace, but van der Vaart says that the story has no substance.
The former Ajax man, who has been regularly linked with a move away from Hamburg, expects to stay in Germany for at least another year.
“I have checked everything and there is nothing to it,” Van der Vaart told the German press.
“I have the feeling that I’ll be playing for Hamburg for another year.
“Yesterday it was Atletico, today it’s Real. It’ll probably keep going on like this.”
HSV sport director Dietmar Beiersdorfer also confirmed that he had not been contacted by Spanish champions with regard to a deal for the Dutch international.
“They will certainly not get the player without getting in contact with us – and nobody has done that,” noted Beiersdorfer.
Wants to play in Germany for one more year
I am not disappointed at all hearing that Van Der Vaart wants to change clubs not before next year. In fact I am relieved that Real Madrid have not signed him yet, who knows may be tomorrow Van Der Vaart comes up and says he has signed for Real Madrid because he thought this was the right time.
Anyway, the guy is going to be 26 now, don’t think Real Madrid would want to spent like 30 million pounds on him, that is far too much for him from what I ve seen of him at the Euro’s and a couple of matches before that. I think he is like Robben, physically speaking. He gets injured a lot of times and get injured on the slightest of tough tackles.
I think, as I have said before that Quaresma or Diego would be a better buy. They are both younger and have alot of potential and would cost about the same as Van Der Vaart.
