Royston Drenthe's agent has called on Feyenoord to lower the asking
price after Real Madrid backed out of a move.
The Holland Under 21 international has been a target for the
Spanish champions, along with fierce rivals Barcelona, and
Chelsea.
But Real have now reportedly ditched plans to sign the left-sided
midfielder due to Feyenoord demanding 17million euros
(£11.5million).
Real have offered 12.5m (£8.4m) for Drenthe, but are reluctant to
increase their bid, leaving the player's agent Sigi Lens to express
his unhappiness with Feyenoord.
"Feyenoord are asking for an amount like Dirk Kuyt and Wesley
Sneijder, who have been senior internationals for years," Lens told
De Telegraaf.
"Is that normal? What will he be worth next year? 25m? 75m?
"What surprises me is that all the top European clubs have reached
an agreement with Real Madrid, so why not Feyenoord?"
Lens acknowledged that Drenthe's priority is to move to the
Bernabeu, with Real coach Bernd Schuster desperate to sign a
left-sided player.
"Every player has got a dream," added Lens.
"If a club likes Real comes by, then you don't say no.
"Feyenoord have to realise that."
