Roma in for Ruud awakening?
Real Madrid hitman Ruud van Nistelrooy could be in line for a loan move to AS Roma in the January transfer window.
Van Nistelrooy has declared that he is open to offers away from Real during the next transfer window to increase his chances of playing regular football and boost his chances of featuring for Holland in the 2010 World Cup.
The veteran striker is currently behind Raul, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain in the Los Blancos attacking hierarchy, and a move to Italy could be on the cards.
Famous FIFA agent Mino Raiola has stated that a temporary stay with the Lupi is a strong possibility.
"Van Nistelrooy is finding little space at Real. His goal is the World Cup and he wants to persuade the Dutch coach to take him to South Africa. When big teams are involved, I never see problems with transfers," he told Radio Radio.
"If the player agrees, an operation is feasible. There would be a paid salary for only six months. However, I don't know the opinion of [coach Claudio] Ranieri and Roma."
