Wesley Sneijder has taunted Liverpool by revealing that he snubbed interest from Anfield in 2013 because he is “a winner”.
As a highly-rated creative midfielder who had previously helped Inter to an historic treble under Jose Mourinho, the Netherlands international attracted plenty of interest when preparing to bring a spell in Italy to a close.
A move to the Premier League had been mooted for some time, with Liverpool edging ahead of arch-rivals Manchester United in the battle to secure a sought-after signature.
Sneijder, though, was to opt against a move to England and instead complete a shock switch to Turkish side Galatasaray.
