Metzelder ready for Real move

German defender Christoph Metzelder will reportedly join Real Madrid in the summer.

The 26-year-old Germany international rejected a new contract offer from BVB earlier this week and Real Madrid would now appear to be in the driving seat for his services.

According to German daily Bild, Metztelder and his agent were in Munich on Tuesday to negotiate with Real bosses ahead of their Champions League clash with Bayern.

Bild claims that the injury-prone defender has already passed a medical with the Spanish giants and will put pen-to-paper on a lucrative four-year deal at the Bernabeu as soon as final contract details have been agreed.

However, the player's agent Jorg Neubauer has attempted to play down the news and insists that no deal has, as yet, been finalised with any team.

"We are still negotiating with interested clubs but there is nothing certain yet," Neubauer stated.

"There are important European teams interested in him, but we have not yet taken any decision."
