Somewhat surprising transfer rumours are coming from Istanbul with Turkish newspaper Fotomac claiming that Sunderland have cast their eye on Galatasaray star Wesley Sneijder.
Black Cats have reportedly identified the former Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Ajax attacking midfielder as a potential exchange chip in a deal for the highly-rated winger Jeremain Lens.
The 29-year-old Dutch winger has been in impressive form for Fenerbahce this season and it is reported that Turkey’s big-three is interested in keeping Lens beyond this season once his loan deal with Fenerbahce expires.
Galatasaray and Besiktas have also made their intentions known and Premier League strugglers Sunderland appear to have a significant bargaining power over Turkish powerhouses in the forthcoming transfer window.
Wesley Sneijder is still regarded as a rather hot commodity in world football and, despite being 32, the Dutch star will be convinced he could do a lot better than to make a move to the Championship.
Galatasaray hold Sneijder in high regard and are thought to be unwilling to give up on the player who made over 100 appearances since his arrival in 2013.
