Galatasaray playmaker linked with Juventus move
The 30-year-old, who previously had a successful spell in Serie A with Inter, could be brought in to reinforce Massimiliano Allegri’s attacking options.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Allegri views Sneijder as the perfect fit to play behind the strikers and has placed the former Real Madrid man at the top of his transfer wishlist.
The Dutchman has been resigned to a substitutes role in recent weeks at Galatasaray, leaving the player frustrated.
The Netherlands international moved to Turkey from Inter in January 2013 for a €7.5 million transfer fee and has scored 18 goals in 54 appearances, helping Galatasaray to the 2012–13 Süper Lig title, securing Sneijder a league title in a fourth different country following successes with Ajax, Real Madrid and the Nerazzurri.
Bayern’s Xherdan Shaqiri and Hull City’s troubled Frenchman Hatem Ben Arfa have been identified as alternative options if Sneijder’s signature cannot be secured.
