Liverpool lead race for Sneijder
Liverpool have joined the race to sign Inter star Wesley Sneijder, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Dutch playmaker yesterday made it clear that he wanted out of Giuseppe Meazza and the Reds have taken the hint.
La Gazzetta dello Sport claims the Premier League club have already contacted the player’s representatives to present their offer.
While they are clearly unable to match Sneijder’s €6 million yearly wage, the Reds are prepared to offer around €10 million for a three-year contract.
Liverpool have desperately lacked a creative midfielder this season and this does appear to be a unique opportunity to sign a world-class playmaker on the cheap.
The only problem is that Tottenham and Manchester United are also keen, even if they have yet to make official bids.
