"Nistelrooy does not hide his anger towards the "Real" leaders who did not release him to "Hamburg" © EuroFootball.com

"Ruud van Nistelrooy is angry at the managers for not allowing him to return to Madrid, so he will refuse to extend his contract with the German club.

"Real" sought to reclaim the 34-year-old veteran, as Argentine Gonzalo Higuain suffered a serious injury, but "Hamburg" rejected a €2 million offer.

"We can reject the possibility of extending the contract with "Hamburg,"" said agent Roger Linse. "We do not understand why Ruud was not released and my client is angry about it."

And he added: "They don't understand what they are doing to the footballer by behaving this way."
