adminGalatasaray president Unal Aysal has told suitors that Wesley Sneijder would be available for transfer if the club’s valuation is met.
Sneijder (29) joined Gala in the January transfer window and helped them win the Turkish Super Lig and reach the quarter-finals of the ChampionsLeague.
Chelsea and Tottenham are reportedly interested in the former Ajax, Real Madrid and Inter Milan midfielder’s services and will be encouraged by Aysal’s admission that he could be sold, although no firm interest has been registered.
“I have been following the rumours about Sneijder, but we have not received an offer for him,” Aysal told Turkish newspaper Sabah.
“If an offer in the region of €15 million (£12.75 million) comes in, we might decide to sell him though.”
Meanwhile, after losing the captaincy of the Netherlands to Manchester United’s Robin van Persie, Sneijder is intent on recapturing the form that saw him help Oranje to the 2010 World Cup final.
He told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: “It was a pretty painful announcement. Not just because I never saw this coming, but also because I have always given my all in the role as captain. — ESPN.
