Rafael van der Vaart has been linked with a move to Chelsea in the wake of being on the fringes of the first team at Real Madrid.
In light of this, the Dutchman has been quoted as saying a move might well be on the cards, seeing as his absence from regular club football has affected his international status.
Whilst considering his options, van der Vaart spoke to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf after some talk of interest from Chelsea's new boss, and fellow Dutchman, Guus Hiddink.
"It’s flattering when someone like Guus Hiddink is interested as he is one of the best," said the midfielder.
The Blues had hoped to sign Los Blancos' current No. 23 last summer, but van der Vaart followed his countrymen Royston Drenthe, Arjen Robben, and Wesley Sneijder to Madrid. It appears now that the interest has been rekindled.
Having only started 10 games this season for Real Madrid, the 26-year-old is clearly frustrated with his current predicament.
"Clearly the coach has no confidence in me," he added.
Bert van Marwijk, the current Holland boss, has made it clear to van der Vaart that he must be playing regular club football in order to be considered for his country.
"The coach has made it clear to me that I must be playing club football to play for the national team."
"If my World Cup selection is threatened I must think about a transfer."
