Branca and Sneijder: are you telling the truth?
Sneijder: "I want to stay at Inter". Branca: "Sneijder is not for sale". Two statements that are going in the same direction, leaving no doubt as to the continuity of the relationship between the Dutch player and Inter for the next season, and a situation that with each passing day became more troublesome is clarified. There was therefore need to bother God to know the future of Wesley (who said "Only God knows if I'll stay"), the stakeholders have expressed themselves. But the reality is quite different and the words, once again demonstrate that in football they have no weight.
The reality speaks of a continuous pressing by Manchester United to bring Sneijder to Old Trafford to make him the heir to Scholes. Something is happening, so much so that the Red Devils chief executive David Gill is ready to sign a check for 40 million euro and please Sir Alex Ferguson, who on Monday at a press conference, did not rule out the arrival of the Nerazzurri player, Unlike what was done for Nasri. A negotiation is not there yet, but contact has been made and is still there, which means that either Sneijder gave the OK to the transfer or Inter is trying to cash in from his sale, enticed by a gain of at least 20 million.
