Sneijder completes €10m Galatasaray move

Wesley Sneijder has completed his move to Galatasaray from Inter Milan.

The Holland international completed his medical with the Turkish giants earlier today before signing his contract at a ceremony at the club’s Turk Telekom Arena this afternoon.

The 28-year-old, whose transfer fee from Inter is believed to be in the region of €10m, has penned a reported three-and-a-half-year deal with the Super Lig leaders.

Sneijder’s move ends a three-and-a-half-year spell at Inter during which he won a famous Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia treble in 2010 under Jose Mourinho.

The playmaker, who joined Inter from Real Madrid for €15m in 2009, had not featured for the Nerazzurri since a 2-0 victory at Chievo in September after publicly refusing to take a €2m pay cut on a contract that ran until June 2015.

Inter head coach Andrea Stramaccioni maintained the playmaker’s absence from the first team was solely a tactical decision, despite Inter’s clear difficulty in keeping pace with league leaders Juventus through an injury crisis.
