The stage is set for the finale, a ceremony the football world has been waiting to witness for months. Inter Milan play maker Wesley Sneijder is set to complete his move to Manchester United after both United players and United’s shirt sponsor Nike hinted that a deal is done.
Manchester United striker Kiko Macheda took to the social networking business in the form of Twitter to be the first to hint a deal has been struck by tweeting:
“Time to sleep before training…hope to see wesley snejeder [sic] here soon!”Rio Ferdinand and Nani saw the tweet, and Macheda was told to remove it as Macheda tweeted for a second time saying “can I not say that?” before deleting both comments.
Manchester United CEO David Gill met up with Inter directors in Zurich to discuss the transfer of the World Cup finalist to Old Trafford on a fee of £35m with a reported salary of £190,000 a week.
A source revealed to goal.com that negotiations are now underway as United want the attacking midfielder, and that Inter Milan will sell the player who “does not fit into Gasperini’s 3-4-3″ if the valuation is met, despite Inter Milan director Branca revealing the player is not for sale which was, according to the source, a transfer strategy to keep the price tag as high as possible.
On Thursday morning, a final hint was revealed by Nike Football as Manchester United as well as Wesley Sneijder’s fabric sponsor revealed that ” Wesley Sneijder plays for Man Utd and wears the Nike T90 Laser III.” To see this, log into google and simply type “nike football wesley sneijder” in the search box and read what the first link has to say about the 2010 Treble winner.
Reports in England and Italy suggest United have agreed personal terms with the player and all that is left is to submit an official bid of £35m, expected to be revealed later on Thrusday, and the deal to be finalized on Friday
