Real Madrid have confirmed that
they are in advanced negotiations over the sale of Klaas-Jan
Huntelaar.
The 25-year-old Holland international moved to the Bernabeu from
Ajax in January but appears to be surplus to requirements following
the arrival of president Florentino Perez.
Stuttgart have agreed to pay the player's €20million (£17.2m)
asking price and Real sporting director Miguel Pardeza has revealed it is now up to Huntelaar to decide whether
to complete the move.
"[Madrid director general Jorge] Valdano wants to involve him in
the situation and for him to make a decision," he said.
Huntelaar's agent, Arnold Oosterveer, confirmed that Stuttgart are the interested party but
revealed that the player is still unsure where he will be playing
next season.
"He will have a conversation with the coach and the club today
and then we will calmly await developments," he told
De Telegraaf.
"We will also talk to Stuttgart.
"Real have offered him to everyone, but it is clear that
Klaas-Jan will be the one to decide where he goes.
"Stuttgart are a fine club, but there are many other clubs
interested, and maybe he will stay in Madrid.
"Klaas-Jan has a contract until 2013."
