With clouds of uncertainty hovering over the head of the Manchester United club, it has been put on a Red alert after it was apprehended that the Ajax striker Klass-Jan Huntelaar is not likely to move to Italyp.
The Dutch footballer, 24, was shown a green signal to join Italian Serie A, a seemingly plush offer for the striker but on account of the exorbitant money that the footballer demanded the deal seems illusive, the price tag being the biggest barricade for Klass-Jan’s entry to Italy. The money demanded is reported to be in the range of $US38 million.
United Boss Sir Alex Fergusson though has been a long term admirer of the ‘The hunter’. According to him, the striker would make a good frontline. He therefore could still make the move on account of the indifference that the Italian holds for the money, which has to be thrown in case Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Old Trafford.
According to the Huntelaar’s Italian agent, the chances that Klass would join Italy were low going by the equation that Juventus, Milan and Inter had either already bought new strikers or were following others for the move. He said “It’s more likely he will go to Spain or England.”
Manchester United more goes to the region of uncertainty, as they face competition from Real Madrid, which has also registered their open admiration for the playmaker in the world of football.
Klass-Jan Huntelaar has been named both, the Dutch Football talent and the Ajax player, for the year 2006. He was also the highest scorer for Netherlands-U21 squad having scored 18 goals in 22 matches, besides being the top scorer in 2007-08 with his goal count striking 33 in 34 appearances.
