Real Madrid Target : Klaus-Jan Huntelaar !
Predrag Mijatovic is prepared to remain patient in his quest to prise Klaas-Jan Huntelaar away from Ajax despite pressure mounting for news of a new signing to be made.
Los Merengues' sporting director believes that the Dutch goalscorer is the player the club needs to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy and has told the board that all other options can wait.
Ajax are insisting that the 25-year-old will not leave in the winter transfer window and even in the summer they will look to ensure that they receive the huge valuation they have of Huntelaar.
Madrid's insistence on focussing on one player in the summer caused their planning to be unbalanced as they chased Cristiano Ronaldo and Mijaotvic will have to be careful the same does not happen again.
Huntelaar has stated that he would welcome a move to Spain, while his compatriots at Madrid, including Wesley Sneijder, have said the club should do all they can to sign him. Furthermore, he will be eligible to take part in the Champions League.
The Spanish giants were keen to add to their forward line before Van Nistelrooy was ruled out for the season, but his absence has made the need to a new player a priority.
President Ramón Calderón has stated that he will sign 'two Higuaíns', in reference to the arrival of Gonzalo in the winter transfer window at the start of 2007.
Getafe supremo Ángel Torres warned his counterpart at the Bernbabéu this weekend that importing a striker in January has its risks because they will need time to adapt while Madrid want someone to perform straight away.
