Van Nistelrooy Linked To The Lane
-
Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Ruud van Nistelrooy and will make an opening offer if Dimitar Berbatov is sold for the club's full asking price, according to reports.
The outlandish link was made in England and on Friday Marca ran the story stating that a bid of aorund €20m should be enough to bring Madrid to table for talks.
With few actual moves going through among Europe's elite due to the European Championships, rumours are far outweighing facts and Tottenham have been linked with a number of strikers.
Van Nistelrooy is seen as a key figure at the Bernabéu and his exit would require los Merengues to find a replacement when all their energies are focussed on prising Cristiano Ronaldo away from Manchester United.
On July 1, the Dutch striker is 32 and while he is settled in Madrid, Ramos' may have sizeable resources, but will not spend a large proportion on a veteran.
While Berbatov remains at the club, it is well documented that keeping him and looking for a smaller frontman to complete a quartet of the Bulgarian, Darren Bent and Robbie Keane is the aim.
Bernd Schuster held talks with the Madrid hierarchy earlier this week and stated that very few new players would join the club, while Ramos has given no indication to who he wants.
After signing Luka Modric out of the blue and capturing Giovani dos Santos from Barcelona for just €6m proves that there could be a few more surprises in store. -
i think he will still be a good buy
-
he shud just stay at RM and win trophies instead of goin to the Lane
-
the way he kept himself fit over the years should allows him another 2 years in the top flight.. would be interesting to see him comes back and come face to face against ManU
-
Maybe Real must get rid of him in order to please Ronny to come over...
