The Dutch midfielder is widely regarded as one of the continent’s best playmakers and has attracted the attention of a host of top European clubs, including Juventus, Inter and Chelsea.The Bianconeri are currently seen as the favourites to sign the 24-year-old, and Van der Vaart, who has spoken of his desire to play for them recently, has again signalled his intention to quit Hamburg.
“I want to go to a top club,” declared Van der Vaart. “I want to get to know another country.”
“I hope to win something and finish the season well. I have a contract until 2010. I could leave but then again I could also continue to play here next year.”
Hamburg President Bernd Hoffmann has conceded that it will be very difficult for him to prevent Van der Vaart from leaving at the end of the season.
“Most likely Rafael will leave in the summer,” he admitted.
Van der Vaart, who joined Hamburg from Ajax in 2005, has been in excellent form this campaign and is joint-second top-scorer in the Bundesliga with nine goals.
