Inter Milan management are confident of announcing the signing of Real Madrid attacking midfielder Wesley Sneijder. Sky Italia reported last night that Sneijder had accepted Inter's proposal, after thrashing it out with agent Soren Lerby in the afternoon.

Inter have already agreed a £12 million fee with Real for the Dutchman, which has been standing for over a week. Lerby also has a five-year contract offer on the table for Sneijder to consider worth £3 million-a-season.
