Rafael Van der Vaart has reiterated his desire to join
Real Madrid, but they are the only club that he would consider
leaving Hamburg for.
The Dutch international is a target for Bernd Schuster and he has
not hidden his long-held ambition to play for los Merengues.
"I will continue to play for Hamburg next seson unless I receive a
call from Real Madrid," he said.
Two months ago, the former Ajax first announced that he was
attracted by the idea of playing in Spain and after Schuster's
recent delcarations he has gone public once again.
"Van der Vaart is a very interesting player. This is why he is on
my list," the Madrid coach stated.
"We know how much he is worth and if we decide to buy him we will
succeed," he was quoted as saying in AS.
Van der Vaart has family reasons for wanting to play in la Primera
too as his grandparents on his mother's side are from Chiclana,
Cádiz.
The 24-year-old regularly visits his family in Andalucia and has
been told that they would like to see him playing in Spain to be
nearer to them.
Those ties could be crucial if Madrid do make a concrete move for
the player.
