Voetbal International says Real have offered £18 million for the Holland international, who is a favourite of coach Bernd Schuster.

Real are turning to Huntelaar after being frustrated in their pursuit of Valencia striker David Villa.

"I know as much as you," said Huntelaar on Wednesday night. "You'll have to ask Real Madrid or Ajax. I am now working with Ajax. And yes, Real is a great club, that is clear."
