Wesley Sneijder could still stay with Inter Milan.
The Dutch midfielder is expected to be sold after refusing to accept a pay-cut demand from management.
However, Sky Sport Italia says Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni is lobbying on Sneijder's behalf for him to stay beyond the winter market.
Stramaccioni rates Sneijder highly and feels he has a lot to add to his team in the second-half of the season.
