Real Madrid striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar could be on his way to Stuttgart this summer, according to reports in Spain.
The 25-year-old front-man only arrived from Ajax in January, netting eight league goals in 20 appearances.
However, the Dutchman's future at the Bernabeu - along with several of his fellow countrymen - has been cast in doubt following the return of former president Florentino Perez, who has already splashed more than €200 million on stellar signings including Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
Huntelaar has been linked with a move to several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
However, Spanish daily Marca are reportedly claiming that Stuttgart have had a €20 million bid for the Holland international, who has scored 13 times in 23 caps, accepted.
The Bundesliga outfit - who are on the lookout for a new striker following the sale of Mario Gomez to Bayern Munich - are believed to be the only club so far to have matched the Madridistas' valuation of the player.
