da esport bet： Inter Milan playmaker Wesley Sneijder has admitted that he spoke with Manchester United over a potential transfer, and although a move would have been of interest, he is happy to have remained in Italy.
da 888casino： The Premier League champions were thought to be in the market for an attacking midfielder following the retirement of Paul Scholes at the end of last season, and the Netherlands international was linked with a move to Old Trafford in a protracted summer transfer saga.
In the end the 29-year-old has stayed at the Giuseppe Meazza, but has stated that he spoke with the English side.
“I felt that it was close, yes. We had several talks, the situation was such that Inter had to sell a player, Eto’o or me, and indeed there was interest. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, so it did not seem like a bad thing – but at the same time I do not want to leave Inter,” the former Real Madrid man told AD.
Reports had indicated that the move did not happen due to the Dutchman’s wage demands, but Sneijder does not agree with this.
“Italy is great for me, and I cannot exclude that United got that feeling, for me a move was not an absolute must and there were a few things which meant it did not happen.”
“For me it was not so much a financial issue, my feeling was that I was simply feeling very good at Inter, I love the club but also the Italian culture and the people, it fits me,” he concluded.
