Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are in the chase for Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

"It seems as though Fabio likes Van Nistelrooy," Calderon, Real Madrid president tsaid. "He could complement Ronaldo."

Bayern Munich is also interested in Ruud, with club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge saying: "The player wants to come to us we know that."

"Now we will approach the thing with all calm," Rummenigge said in a newspaper interview carried on Bayern's website.

"We have to speak with the player and naturally with Manchester United but there are no grounds for haste."

But Bayern is set to face competition from Real Madrid.

Real's Calderon added: "There is enough money for us to make six or seven reinforcements and they will be here before 3 August.

"The signings that Capello has asked for are possible.

"Of course I would like for Cesc Fabregas to be one of our signings. We had an agreement with the player during the presidential elections but we have yet to sit down with Arsenal and negotiate.

"With regards to Kaka, Capello has told me he is an exceptional player. Kaka wanted to come three months ago when I was a club executive but now we must talk to AC Milan."
