Sneijder hoping for Inter stay

Manchester United target Wesley Sneijder says he would be disappointed Inter Milan decided to sell him in the close season.

The Dutch playmaker has been heavily linked with a big-money move to Old Trafford after spending just two seasons at the San Siro.

But Sneijder has revealed he wants to stay in the Serie A, though admits to having no option but to leave should Inter choose to sell.

“If the club decide to sell me, I’ll go where they tell me to go,” Sneijder told Vanity Fair.

“If that happens I would be very sorry. My wife and I are happy in Milan and I would miss the city and Inter.”

“But anything can happen in football.”

The 27-year-old will be comforted by comments from new Inter boss Gian Piero Gasperini, who says he wants to keep Sneijder with the Nerazzurri.

“Sneijder is a great player, a top player. His approach has been more than positive,” Gasperini said from the club’s training camp in Pinzolo.

“He is here (at Pinzolo) and he wants to remain with us.”

Sneijder, a former Real Madrid midfielder, is valued at 35 million pounds and is under contract with Inter until June 2015.
