Royston Drenthe desperate to join Madrid


Royston Drenthe is set to take Feyenoord to the court of arbitration to secure himself a move to Real Madrid.Reports emanating from Holland claim the Dutch Under 21 international has enlisted the help of lawyer Harro Knijff to try and win a move to Real.Harro Knijff, who supported Ronald and Frank de Boer when they had a similar case against Ajax in 1998. The 20-year-old has just signed a contract until 2011 with the Rotterdam club but is now eager to move to Spain. Real are leading the chase to sign the exciting winger with Chelsea and Barcelona also credited with an interest in Drenthe. "I can confirm that I am busy preparing the request for an arbitration case," Knijff told Sportweek magazine. Feyenoord do not want to lose their prize asset and the club's general manager Peter Vogelzang has expressed his disappointment at Drenthe's stance. But there is every chance Drenthe will go once a club meets Feyenoord's undisclosed valuation."Feyenoord only wants to sell Drenthe if we get an offer that is as high as we think Royston Drenthe is worth to us."
