Real Madrid to sign Huntelaar

Real Madrid look set to sign Klaas-Jan Huntelaar from Ajax. It is understood that the Spanish giants are prepared to pay £19 million to seal a move for the Dutch international striker. Man Utd and AC Milan have previously considered a move for the forward.

After a disappointing start to the season for Real, it seems that the club are set to make an offer for the forward.

Ajax have agreed to discuss terms for the forward's transfer.

Huntelaar is expected to earn £150,000 a week at the Bernabeu.

"Ajax are in talks with Real Madrid over the possible sale of Klaas Jan Huntelaar to the Spanish club," confirmed an Ajax club statement.

"However no deal has been agreed at the moment."
