Klaas-Jan Huntelaar’s prospective deal with German side Stuttgart is far from being complete according to the player’s agent. The Dutch international looks set to leave Real Madrid only six months after moving to the Bernabeu, having seen Florentino Perez’s galactico policy marginalise his opportunities for first team football. Speculation in the Spanish press has suggested that Stuttgart have had a €20m offer accepted by the Real hierarchy, but representative Arnold Oosterveer has stressed that circumstances are not so clear cut. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and AC Milan have all been linked with the player in the past, with the Gunners tipped to renew their interest in light of Emmanuel Adebayor’s likely move to Manchester City.
25-year-old Huntelaar has not travelled with the rest of Manuel Pellegrini’s squad to Ireland for their pre-season friendly with Shamrock Rovers as he continues to assess his options. Speaking to Calciomercato.it, agent Oosterveer claimed:
“The German club has reached an agreement with Real Madrid, but not with us.
“We have to talk, the player needs to evaluate not only the economic aspect, but also the sporting one.”
