Van Der Vaart: I Am Ready For Juve
Hamburg midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart has admitted that he is ready to join Juventus.
The 24-year-old playmaker joined the Bundesliga club in 2005 but is now desperate to test himself in a stronger league.
He seemed all set for a move to Valencia in the summer, however Hamburg scrapped the deal at the very last minute.
Van der Vaart is tied to the Germans until 2010, however due to a special clause in his contract he will be able to leave the club a year earlier for just £1m.
Hamburg are thus almost certain to sell their prized asset at the end of the season and a number of Serie A clubs, including Inter and Juventus have been linked.
Yesterday the Bianconeri were associated with a swap deal including Argentine flop Sergio Almiron, who has been a huge disappointment in Turin since signing from Empoli.
Either way it seems that Van der Vaart is ready to sign for Claudio Ranieri’s men if they come in with a serious offer.
“I will only leave Hamburg for a big club, such as Juventus,” said the Dutchman.
“If the Italian team were to make a serious offer, I would pay attention to it and I think that Hamburg are ready to do a deal.”

Rafael ready for Juve
Thursday 13 December, 2007
Dutch midfield star Rafael Van Der Vaart has admitted that he would welcome any offer from Juventus this summer.
The Hamburg ace is joint top scorer in the Bundesliga alongside Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose after hitting nine goals so far this term.
Van Der Vaart is under contract with the Rothosen until 2010, but he has a clause in his deal that allows him to leave for just £700,000 in 2009.
“I will only leave for a big club, like Juventus for example,” he told Voetbal International.
“I know that they are interested and if the Bianconeri were to make me a concrete offer, I would consider it very carefully. I think that Hamburg would be ready to discuss terms with them.”
Inter are also reportedly tracking the 24-year-old and could start a bidding war come June.
