Wesley Sneijder has spoken to La Gazzetta dello Sport about the title race and his future at Inter.
According to the Dutchman, La Beneamata has what it takes to challenge Juventus for the title and did not rule out other challengers either.
“I do not think that Juventus are stronger than Inter or any of the other teams. We can beat them,” Sneijder said.
“It might look like Milan have fallen apart, but they always have great players. And then there are teams like Napoli and Roma in the race for the Scudetto as well.
“It is going to be a long and hard season for all of us. Juventus are the reigning champions and the favourites, but we can definitely beat them.”
The trequartista said that he has hopes of becoming Inter captain one day, but added that as Javier Zanetti doesn’t show any signs of stopping, he has to wait for his dream to fulfill.
“The captaincy? If only, but Zanetti will play on until he is 60,” Sneijder admitted.
The former Ajax and Real Madrid midfielder also hinted at the possibility of playing the final years of his career in North America, but it has to wait because of his commitment to the Nerazzurri.
“If my wife continues to be an actress, the MLS might be an idea. But not at this point. I want to stay at Inter. I have never thought about leaving Inter. I like the team, the city and the club.
“As a minimum I want to stay until the end of my contract.”
Sneijder came to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in 2009 from Real Madrid.
