The president of Turkish league champions Galatasaray has spoken to local media sources and is more than happy to do business with Chelsea for attacking midfielder Wesley Sneijder.

Sneijder has largely disappointed in Istanbul since moving to the club in January for £6m from Inter Milan.

He has only found the target three times since his arrival at Gala.  The 29-year-old (pictured), who celebrated his birthday on Sunday, is said by Metro to still be in close contact with former Inter boss Jose Mourinho, who has just been restored as Chelsea manager.

And Unai Aysal says £15m will be enough for the Blues to take Sneijder off their books.

He added: “If there was a bid of £15m or above, we will consider a sale.” 

Mourinho was unveiled at a press conference on Monday at Stamford Bridge.


Sneijder, who has been a target in the past for Manchester United, won the Champions League and the Serie A title in Mourinho’s successful 24 months in charge at the San Siro.  He has also won Dutch and Spanish league titles.
