Liverpool Transfer News: Wesley Sneijder To Anfield - If He Takes Wage Cut
Express. The 28-year old currently earns £6.5 million a year after tax which has only served to price him out of a move away from Inter Milan, whom he has not played for since September after refusing to accept a wage cut. His breakdown in relations with Inter means he will almost certainly leave Milan before the winter transfer window closes, and it was widely believed that he would join Turkish side Galatasaray, who had a £6.3 million offer accepted by Milan, only for the midfielder to stall on the move. The Turkish outfit will give Sneijder until next week to decide if he will put pen to paper on a £100,000-per-week contract, and Rodgers could be waiting in the wings if it falls through. The Liverpool boss is said to be keen on bringing in Sneijder's experience, providing what would be a complex agreement can be reached on his personal terms. He is looking for a long-term replacement for midfielder Steven Gerrard, and has been encouraged by the midfielder's apparent reluctance to move to Turkey.
