Aston Villa are set to
discuss a shock bid for Real
Madrid midfielder Wesley Sneijder.
The Birmingham Mail says Villa are set for talks with
Real Madrid over a sensational
move for star midfielder Sneijder.
The 25-year-old Holland international and former Ajax ace is
available after Madrid’s summer spree.
Reports in Spain suggested a fee of 16 million euros had been
agreed with Liverpool for the
attacking midfielder, but Villa have now come in to make their
play.
It is believed his wages could still represent a huge hurdle for
Villa to overcome but the fact Villa have gone for such a
replacement for Gareth Barry is a signal at last of their intent to
compete this season.
