Likewise, Galatasaray chiefs are ready to consider
offloading the 30-year-old star as they look to ease
their debt problems.
Newly appointed chairman Duygun Yarsuvat has
been handed the task of easing the club’s precarious
financial position.
Sneijder earns in the region of £2.5million-a-year at
Galatasaray and the club have failed to pay him on
time on more than one occasion over the past few
months.
And the Turkish side have been receptive to the
notion of selling him in an attempt to ease their wage
bill.

It is understood Galatasaray will demand in the
region of £9million for Sneijder.
And his advisers have begun the process of trying to
identify a buyer for the former Inter Milan star.
United and Southampton - who both have Dutch
managers - are among the sides to have been
contacted about the possibility of taking Sneijder next
month.
The player worked with Old Trafford boss Van Gaal
during the World Cup and the pair are know to have a
good relationship.
Saints manager Ronald Koeman could also be
tempted into a move for his countryman as his side
try to maintain their attempts to clinch a European
spot next season.
