galleria zoom The Ajax striker is high on Los Merengues' priority list for their end-of-season recruitment as Bernd Schuster has told the board that he wants a new goalscorer.
With Javier Saviola and Roberto Soldado both out of favour, Huntelaar has been targetted but he is remaining calm amid all the media stories about his future.
"Of course, it is great to hear that a club with so much history is watching me. What I like most about them is that they are a team of champions," he told AS.
"But look, the reality is that these are only rumours, just like the talk of other teams looking at me. I have to wait as I cannot live like this.
"We shall see what happens. For the time being I have only heard rumours.
"Everything will depend on any offers I receive and what is best for me and what is best for Ajax. I have a contract here until 2010.
"The offer of a new deal is also on the table and I will see about that when the summer comes and make a decision."
Huntelaar feels that he could continue his impressive goalscoring form abroad and revealed that he expects to be able to test that theory one day.
"I think that if someone is capable of scoring goals in Holland then they can do the same somewhere else. The future will show whether that is true," he continued.
Finally, the former PSV forward stated that he had not spoken to Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wesley Sneijder or Rosyton Drenthe about Madrid while on international duty.
"I talk to them about general things, not a lot about Real Madrid or Spanish football. But they do only say good things about the club and the league," he added.

Also a language with a Germanic historie. Sweden, Denmark, Germany, England and that kind of languages are easier to understand because of that. French, Italian, Spanish are Roman languages, so more difficult.
But, Huntelaar likes to learn different languages, he says its interesting and usefull. And it is a smart person too, he learns quick.

Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster told openly that he thinks about signing Huntelaar. He thinks its a striker like Cruyff, v. Nistelrooij and v. Basten and will score everywhere. He said he had some plans with Huntelaar...
You have to hurry if you wanna sign him, but I think Real can bid more then you could. So forget Huntelaar, too expensive.
