Wesley Sneijder's personal demands are proving the main stumbling block to the Inter Milan star moving to Manchester United. The Daily Mail says Inter's asking price and Sneijder's refusal to accept less than £190,000-a-week are proving prohibitive, and manager Sir Alex Ferguson acknowledged as much after United landed in Seattle on Thursday night.
Such was then-Inter coach Jose Mourinho's determination to see off competition from Bayern Munich for Sneijder, when Real Madrid made him available in 2009, that the 27-year-old was awarded a £250,000-a-week contract.
After almost losing Wayne Rooney last season, before finally securing his future on improved terms of around £220,000 a week, the last thing Ferguson needs is any further disruption from his prize asset over relative earnings.
Although Inter claimed that the Dutchman is not for sale and the player has stated he is happy in Milan, sources close to the deal insist there is a better than even chance of United landing their next major target and taking their summer spending beyond £80m.
