Real Make Van Der Vaart Bid
The transfer saga surrounding Rafael van der Vaart appears to have stepped up a notch with the revelation that Real Madrid have an official approach for the Hamburg midfielder.

According to Welt-Online the Spanish champions have lodged a bid of €6 million for the Dutch international via fax. HSV sporting director Dietmar Beiersdorfer however has dismissed the amount as “not worth discussing”.

The Real leadership however believe €6 million is realistic considering that van der Vaart will be able to leave the Bundesliga for €1.5 million next summer due to a clause in his contract.

Now that the first official move has been made by Madrid, the transfer poker surrounding van der Vaart should begin in earnest. Both Hamburg and Real are taking part in next weekend’s Emirates tournament in London and intense negotiations are expected to take place before the transfer window closes on 31 August.

Van der Vaart said recently that he would only consider leaving HSV for a “top club” following speculation that Atletico Madrid had made a bid.

“I’ve said again and again that I feel fine here in Hamburg. I love HSV and would only move to a top club. It would be great if the speculation over my future would stop. As it looks, I’ll be spending another year here.”

Or maybe not……
