Real Madrid Ready To Part Company With Ruud Van Nistelrooy


Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy appears to be on his way out of the Santiago Bernabeu after Real Madrid have told the attacker that he will be allowed to leave in the winter transfer window.

The 33-year-old is finding regular first team football hard to come by at Los Merengues and has made only one league appearance for Real Madrid this term, scoring once.

Madrid are reluctant to let any players go in January, but a report in Marca claims that they are ready to make an exception for Van Nistelrooy in order to keep the Dutchman's World Cup dreams alive.

Van Nistelrooy retired from international football after Euro'08, but he recently expressed his desire to make a comeback at the 2010 World Cup in a final attempt to win silverware with Oranje.

The report that Van Nistelrooy may leave Madrid in January will be good news for Liverpool. The beleaguered English powerhouse are believed to be eager to sign the Dutchman.
