AC Milan, Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon and Fenerbahce are just some of the sides reportedly keen on taking the Danish international. Bendtnder was left off Arsenal's tour of Asia in order for him to hold talks over his future. And now Hamburg have thrown their hat into the ring, with sporting director Frank Arnesen feeling he could fill a midfield role for them. "We need more creativity in our offence. A midfielder with quality would be good for us," he told Hamburger Abendblatt. "Bendtner would be a real dream, he is a very interesting player. "He can also play as an attacking midfielder behind the attacker "But it would almost amount to a small miracle for us to get him. There are two other clubs who have made an offer Nicklas and we are unfortunately not in that position." However, Borussia Dortmund have ruled themselves out of a move for Bendtner. The Bundesliga champions have struggled financially in the past and club chief executive officer Hans-Joachim Watzke insists there will be no "paradigm shift" despite their recent success. "There has never been an offer from Borussia Dortmund for Nicklas Bendtner," said Watzke, according to Hamburger Abendblatt. "Of course we could make larger transfers... but we don't want to borrow any money."
