Real Madrid continue selling as Wesley Sneijder goes to Inter Milan

Real Madrid has continued their massive summer overhaul and some big names will feature in new colors for the upcoming campaign. No longer wearing the famous white shirt of Madrid will be Dutch national teammates Arjen Robben, Klass Jan Huntelaar and now Wesley Sneijder.

Inter Milan’s search for an attacking midfielder ended when they signed Wesley Sneijder from Madrid for an undisclosed fee.

The Dutch international, 25, has signed a four-year contract with the Italian champions after two seasons in Spain, where he scored eleven goals in 52 Liga appearances, helping Madrid win the championship in 2007/08. While some may say that Sneijder still had a lot to offer Madrid, the spots in the midfield were going to be hard to come by with Ronaldo and Kaka arriving this summer.

Sneijder has been capped 55 times by the Netherlands and has represented the Oranje at every major international tournament since his debut in 2003 when he was only 18. He joins new signings Samuel Eto’o, Diego Milito, Lucio and Marko Arnautovic in José Mourinho’s new-look squad.

Netherlands midfielder Wesley Sneijder is fully focused on new club Inter Milan after agreeing a move to Italy.

“What happened with me is very strange,” said Sneijder. “They (Real Madrid) treated me very badly but to tell the truth I would prefer not to talk about it.”

Sneijder told Spanish sports daily Marca: “I am going to a great club, of that I have no doubt. I am very sad to leave but that’s the way it is.”
