Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder has committed his
future to the Italian club and ended speculation he may move to
Manchester United by signing a new contract until
2015.
Sneijder, 26, won the Serie A title, the Coppa Italia and the
UEFA Champions League with Inter last season and also starred for
Netherlands as they reached the final of the 2010 World Cup.
However, he was linked with a move to the Premier League after
stalling on terms for a new deal at the San Siro, alerting some of
Europe's elite.
Now he has put pen to paper on a two-year extension to his
current deal, worth in the region of €5 million per season
according to the ANSA news agency.
''The fans will be happy above all else because we have today
reached an agreement with Wesley Sneijder for a contract extension
until 2015,'' Inter president Massimo Moratti was quoted as saying
on the club's website. ''Sneijder became a key player for Inter
last season and will be this year, and for many years to come.
''The negotiations started a despite the fact he had a long time
to go on his old deal (which ran out in 2013) but with mutual
satisfaction they were completed this morning.''
