Van der Vaart wants to stay

Rafael van der Vaart has revealed he is intent on staying at Hamburg next season; despite the interest of several clubs. Martin Jol, his Hamburg coach, revealed the Dutch international has no intention to leave.

Jol said: Van Der Vaart is a special case. Petrovic has spoken to him on the phone and he said once again that he would like to stay at Hamburg. He loves Hamburg.

"It could be that he would think about moving if a club like Real Madrid or Barcelona makes an offer — that is what we have learned from past experience."
