Royston Drenthe is ready to take Feyenoord to the court of arbitration to secure himself a move to Real Madrid.

Reports emanating from Holland claim the Dutch Under 21 international has enlisted the help of lawyer Harro Knijff to try and win a move to Real.

Real are leading the chase to sign the exciting winger with Chelsea and Barcelona also credited with an interest in Drenthe.

Knijff, who supported Ronald and Frank de Boer when they had a similar case against Ajax in 1998, has revealed he is preparing an arbitration case for Drenthe.

"I can confirm that I am busy preparing the request for an arbitration case," Knijff told Sportweek magazine.

Feyenoord do not want to lose their prize asset and the club's general manager Peter Vogelzang has expressed his disappointment at Drenthe's stance.

Regret
"We regret that things are turning towards this," Vogelzang told the club's official website.

"We have made our standpoint public a few times already and nothing has changed in that: Feyenoord doesn't want to see Royston Drenthe go to another club.

"Our intention is to keep him at the club for at least one more year and if possible longer. We did not extend and renew his contract in April until the summer of 2011 for nothing.

"Feyenoord only wants to sell Drenthe if we get an offer that is as high as we think Royston Drenthe is worth to us."

>> From Feyenoords offical site too. They should sell an unhappy player IMO! Madrid, Barca, Chelsea or whatever...
