Ajax Amsterdam confirmed on Tuesday they are in talks with Real Madrid about the transfer of striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar but said no deal had yet been agreed.
The 25-year-old Dutch international, who is recovering from an ankle injury, was linked with a move to Spain in the January transfer window to replace compatriot Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is out for the rest of the season with a knee problem.
According to media reports on Monday, Real Madrid are willing to pay 20 million euros ($25.22 million) for Huntelaar, whose Ajax contract expires in June 2010.
