http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-Sneijder-c36799 will not leave San Siro, says Inter Milan President Massimo Moratti
Italian Serie A club, Inter Milan, are looking to keep influential playmaker, Wesley Benjamin Sneijder, in their ranks despite interest from other Elite European clubs, notably Manchester United.
Sneijder has been in sparkling form for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 in the 2010/11 season, scoring six goals in 29 appearances in all competitions.
Inter president Massimo Moratti is adamant that his prized asset is not for sale.
Moratti said, “The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real. But I didn't look into it. My only interest is seeing Sneijder play here for many more years to come."
Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has expressed his interest in Sneijder and wants to include the 26-year-old player in the Red Devils squad following his brilliant performances for Inter. The player is also viewed as a long-term replacement for veteran midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394.
Sneijder also has the reputation of being a dead-ball specialist, making him even better an attraction as United lack a free-kick expert ever since http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 left for Spanish pastures. Sneijder was fantastic in year 2010 for both the club and country. The sensational Dutchman inspired Inter to a historic treble; Serie A, Coppa Italia and UEFA Champions League titles. Sneijder made 41 appearances and scored 8 goals for Inter in that successful campaign.
For his national side, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
Presently, Sneijder has stated that he has no desire to quit Italy but his close friends claim that interest from the Red Devils has forced him to ponder again.
If the Red Devils want to secure the services of the talented Dutchman, they will have to make a big money offer to Inter as Sneijder’s contract with the Italian club runs into 2015.
The player’s buyout clause is in excess of 40 million pounds and Sneijder is earning 140,000 pounds a week salary; United will have to top those statistics in order to land the player to Old Trafford.
