Liverpool and Manchester United hope Wesley Sneijder will take a significant pay cut to realise his ambition of moving to the Premier League in this transfer window.
The Holland international, who has been marginalised at Internazionale after reportedly failing to agree a new contract on reduced terms, has stalled on a €10m (£8m) transfer to Galatasaray as he holds out for an offer from a major Premier League club. The Turkish club have given Sneijder until the weekend to make a decision on his future and, in an attempt to increase interest from England, his representatives have indicated he would take a pay cut to join the likes of United and Liverpool.
Sneijder earns more than £6.5m a year after tax from his contract with Inter, a sum that – with the transfer fee – has limited his options. His basic wage and age, 28, does not fit with Fenway Sports Group's transfer policy at Liverpool but their manager, Brendan Rodgers, would press Sneijder's claims to the club's owners if he were prepared to reduce his demands rather than play in Turkey. Liverpool's weekly wage bill has been reduced by approximately £160,000 this month with the departures of Joe Cole and Nuri Sahin to West Ham United and Borussia Dortmund respectively.
Asked about the prospect of signing Sneijder, the Liverpool manager said on Thursday: "I couldn't see that happening. Daniel [Sturridge] was our main priority so we'll see what else is available."Comment

Please make this happen. If we can get the money together, then I have no doubt he'd come here (unless Man Utd get involved).Comment

Mate I've absolutely no idea but I know Brendan likes to talk to the journo lads 'off the record' quite a bit. No doubt in my mind it will have come from Rodgers himself...the fact that he's interested in Sneijder. Whether the owners agree is obviously another matter.Originally posted by Gibbo View PostThanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

LIVERPOOL FC are interested in bringing Wesley Sneijder to Anfield – but only if the Inter Milan midfielder agrees to take a massive pay cut.
The Holland international will leave Italy during the current transfer window after being frozen out at Inter and he's stalling over an offer from Galatasaray as he favours a move to the Premier League.
The Reds have yet to make an official approach for Sneijder but the player's representatives are aware of the club's interest.
Boss Brendan Rodgers is a big admirer of the 28-year-old and believes he would be a world-class acquisition to his Liverpool squad.
However, one major stumbling block is Sneijder's salary. He earns an eye-watering 6.5million euros a year (£5.4million) after tax in Italy. In the UK that is the equivalent of a basic wage of £200,000 per week.
With Liverpool having slashed their inflated wage bill over the past year and offered more performance-related contracts there is no chance of them offering anywhere near that figure.
However, if Sneijder lowers his demands in a bid to realise his dream of playing in England then the Reds will look to hold talks.
Inter are desperate to get Sneijder off their wage bill and have agreed a 7.5million euros (£6.3million) transfer fee with Galatasaray.
The Turkish side are willing to pay him £100,000 per week after tax but he's dragging his heels over a move to Istanbul.
Galatasaray president Unal Aysal wants an answer by this weekend but Sneijder has made it clear he won't be rushed into making a decision on his future.
“I am considering my options,” he said.
“It’s not a question of money. I have time to decide what to do and where to go before January 31.”
Sneijder, who was a World Cup finalist with Holland in 2010, started his career at Ajax before moving to Real Madrid for 27million euros in 2007.
Two years later he went to Inter for 15million euros and in his first season in Italy he helped Jose Mourinho's side win both Serie A and the Champions League.
However, he has been hampered by injuries over the past two seasons and fell out with the club's hierarchy earlier this term after rejecting their request to take a pay cut.
Sneijder, who is under contract with Inter until 2015, hasn't played since September and needs a fresh start in order to rekindle his international career.
If Sneijder does come into Liverpool's price range then it will provide a test of their transfer policy.
MD Ian Ayre told the ECHO this week they are targeting players aged under 24 in order to build for the future. However, he insisted that wasn't “set in stone” and said Rodgers would be able to sign more experienced players if the right personnel became available.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment
