Madrid leaders warned the club that they do not intend to pay a "crazy" amount for experienced striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Days ago, the English rejected a proposal from the Spanish super club, stating that they expect at least 15 million pounds for the Dutchman. "Real" has no intention of making such a large offer.
"We are approaching a point where all negotiations will break down, even though the player wants to move to Madrid," said "Real" vice president Juan Mendoza. "It's time to show 'Man Utd' that our club does not promise to satisfy overly high demands. We offered what we believe Ruud is worth, and we do not intend to pay crazy sums that do not match the market value."
New "Real" coach Fabio Capello has stated that R. van Nistelrooy is one of the most important players he would like to see wearing the "Royal" club's jersey.
The 29-year-old player caused a scandal when he unexpectedly left "Old Trafford" stadium three hours before the last Premier League game of the past season against "Charlton" and did not show up for the match.
It is believed that the Dutchman, who often started matches on the bench due to poor form this season, behaved this way due to coach Sir Alex Ferguson's decision not to let the striker onto the field from the start of the match. The coach later stated that he chose this option due to the poor performance of the foreign player and incidents in the last few training sessions.
Since then, it has become practically clear that this summer the player will be forced to leave Manchester and look for a new club.
Besides Real, the services of R. van Nistelrooy are also actively sought after by Munich.
