Leonardo has confirmed reports that AC Milan are interested in signing Klaas-Jan Huntelaar from Real Madrid as the club begin to show serious interest in the striker.
After seeing his side lose in a pre-season fixture against city rivals Inter, the Rossoneri boss admitted that he wanted a bigger squad for the new campaign.
Milan's numbers could well be increased by a move for the Dutch striker as the club still have money to spend after seeing Kaka join Los Merengues for around €67million.
"If we find the chance to buy, Huntelaar is a player we would consider," Leonardo told reporters.
He added that Milan's interest was "serious" and that an enquiry could see negotiations begin because Madrid have made it clear that the see Huntelaar as surplus to requirements.
Tottenham Hotspur are also interested and looked to be in a good position as the forward made it clear he would like to move to England after snubbing a transfer to Stuttgart.
