Galatasary announce signing of Wesley Sneijder from Inter Milan

The 28-year-old has been locked in contract talks with Galatasaray since Inter accepted a 10million euro bid for his services two weeks ago.

A statement on galatasaray.org read: "The transfer of Wesley Sneijder from Inter Milan has been agreed.

"The conditions of the deal will be made public and the player will sign the contract after health checks."

A short conversation between Inter president Massimo Moratti and Sneijder was released on the Serie A club's website earlier on Sunday evening, in which both parties revealed the Dutch international was close to calling time on a successful spell at the San Siro.

Reports in Italy and Holland suggested Sneijder and his agent Soren Lerby met with Galatasaray director Lutfi Arigogan in a Milan hotel on Sunday evening to finalise the details of a three-and-a-half year contract.

Sneijder has not featured for the Nerazzurri since a 2-0 victory at Chievo in September after publicly refusing to take a two million euro pay cut on a contract that ran until June 2015.
