Milan enter Huntelaar chase
AC Milan coach Leonardo has confirmed his interest in Real Madrid's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar while reiterating his determination to increase the size of his squad.
The former Brazil international has previously announced the need to bring new faces to San Siro after the departure of Kaka to Real, and he has been linked with Juventus' David Trezeguet.
Huntelaar has also been mentioned as a target after the Dutchman backed out of a move to Stuttgart, while Tottenham and Arsenal are also thought to be tracking the former Ajax star.
Leonardo has now admitted that he would be interested in the 25-year-old if Milan decide to enter the transfer market ahead of the window deadline at the end of August.
Invest
He told Italian media: "If we find the chance to invest, Huntelaar is a player we would consider."
Pre-season has not gone to plan for Leonardo, who succeeded Carlo Ancelotti this summer, following defeats to Chelsea and fierce derby rivals Inter Milan.
Some have questioned Milan's decision to hand the inexperienced 39-year-old his first management job, but he is keen to be offered time as his squad return to full fitness.
He added following the defeat to Inter: "I don't want to find excuses. Inter played better than us but we were really tired.
"We need a bigger group. We have players like Alessandro Nesta, Gennaro Gattuso and Marco Borriello who are coming back after injuries and they need to regain fitness gradually."
