ITALY/ INTER, Sneijder approaching ? [size=120%] Source:Gazzetta dello Sport
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter and Real Madrid are close to reaching an agreement for Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder (25).
Latest reports suggest that Sneijder will join Inter on a paid loan deal for about 7 million euros with the chance for the Neroazzurri to sign him on a permament basis for 13 millions next year.
The Dutchman is keen on joining a club where he will have the chance to play more often. He fears that limited chances at Real would prevent him from keeping his place in the Dutch national team (as already stated by Holland head coach Bert Van Marwijk) and thus miss the 2010 World Cup.
In the meantime, Real Madrid chairman Florentino Perez has told Spanish media sources that Sneijder could join Inter by August 15. However, if the deal will fall through at the last minute, the alternatives for Inter are Rafael Van der Vaart (Real Madrid), Pablo Aimar (Benfica) and Ivan Rakitic (Schalke 04).
