Fenerbahce Join Race For Real Madrid Striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy - Report
The veteran hitman could be set for a move to Fener...
Publication Takvim comments that the big-spending side are in the hunt for the former Manchester United striker, and are hoping to secure his signature during the January transfer window.
The Dutchman has missed the majority of 2009 following a series of serious injuries, and the introduction of Karim Benzema at the Santiago Bernabeu has pushed him down the pecking order.
Liverpool are thought to have expressed an interest in bringing the poacher back to England, and were readying a bid for the prolific frontman, who netted 150 goals during his time at Old Trafford.
However, Fenerbahce coach Christoph Daum is an admirer of the Los Blancos star and is ready to trump any bid from the Reds in order to secure his target.
Van Nistelrooy returned to action earlier in the season but immediately injured his hamstring and is currently suffering another spell on the sidelines.
