The former Ajax starlet - who has been capped 53 times by his country - has been linked with Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Aston Villa during the close season.

While Inter Milan have reportedly agreed a €15 million for the Dutchman's services, after the Spanish giants lowered their original asking price of  €20 million. However, after Spanish

daily _Marca_ claimed that the player was on the verge of sealing a switch to the San Siro, the same publication then reported that Sneijder had refused to board a plane to Milan as he

remains desperate to stay at Real and fight for his place. The midfielder has seemingly been stripped of his No.10 shirt, after Lassana Diarra was spotted wearing the same number in

Monday's friendly against Rosenborg. And fellow Dutchman Drenthe has admitted that all is not well between Sneijder and the Madrid hierarchy. "He is my friend and I won't talk

about this topic," he told _Antenna 3._ "It's very difficult for him and there are things between the club and Sneijder." A lack of regular first-team football this

season could jeopardise the player's hopes of participating in next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your
