    “We welcome Wesley Sneijder to our family,” said Arıboğan in a statement released on GS TV.

    “God willing he will be successful, these types of transfers take a long time to complete, we conducted our negotiations in a proper manner.

    “First we approached the club, then we entered talks with their player.

    “Sneijder was keen on joining however, he had to be sure he was making the right move and made his very decision carefully.

    “We will arrive in Istanbul along with Sneijder tomorrow at 13:30 GMT, he is packing his bags as we speak.”

    Sneijder joined Inter from Real Madrid for €15 million in 2009 and went onto win the Serie A, Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana.

    This evening Galatasaray released a statement confirming negotiations have formally begun with Inter to sign Sneijder during the January transfer window.

    Initial reports suggest a deal has been agreed with the Nerazzurri worth around €10m, but that the player is unconvinced at what he sees as a step down.

    However, wife Yolanthe Cabau spoke to fans today on Twitter to discuss the new development.

    “Istanbul is definitely nice! Have been there many times, love Turkey!” she wrote when asked about the city.

    “But what will happen, I do not know… I can only say that Wes still loves Inter as much as he did before.”
