Magath dreams of dutch pair Makaay-van Nistelrooy

As it was announced before in many news channels, Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath has confirmed his interest in Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Dutch forward fell out with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson last season and is thought to be weighing up his options at Old Trafford. He has been linked with a move to Bayern and Magath has admitted he would love to pair Van Nistelrooy with his Dutch compatriot Roy Makaay in his team's frontline.

"Everybody knows Ruud van Nistelrooy is one of the best strikers in the world and the chance of working with a top striker like him doesn´t come around every day," Magath said.

Alongside Makaay, the coach already has many excellent forwards in the squad, like Pizarro, Santa Cruz and the new signing Podolsky.

Makaay not moving to Barcelona

Roy Makaay's agent announced that the forward won't go to Spaniard side Barcelona. Althoug some newspapers in Spain had claimed the Dutchman was set to replace Henrik Larsson, who has moved to Helsingborgs, Makaay's agent Rob Jansen insists there is no substance to the speculation.

"There is absolutely no contact with Barca and how the papers have come up with that defies me," he told a magazine.

In fact, the Dutch striker is instead focused on continuing his phenomenal goalscoring record with the Bavarians.

In 96 Bundesliga games, Roy Makaay has found the back of the net 62 times, although last season was a disappointment compared to his usual high standards.

"I know I still scored 17, but it was not the best of seasons," admitted Makaay, who was omitted from the Holland squad for the World Cup Germany 2006.

It's good to say that Makaay already has sights set on the 2006/07 Bundesliga season and what he hopes will be a return to the form he showed in his first two seasons with the German champions.

"I want to break the 20-goal record like I did in my first two seasons in Bayern Munich," he finished.
