Hamburg says it has rejected attempts by Real Madrid to bring Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy back to Spain.
Chairman Bernd Hoffmann says on Hamburg's website that Madrid had offered 2 million euros ($2.7 million) plus a friendly match for the 34-year-old striker but the Bundesliga club rejected the offer "again and for the last time" on Sunday.
Hoffmann says Hamburg wants to do everything to secure a place in international competition next season and it is "unthinkable" to let Van Nistelrooy go.
Van Nistelrooy joined Hamburg from Madrid a year ago.
