Sneijder bashes AC Milan reports

Posted Saturday, March 17, 2012 by ESPN

Inter Milan star Wesley Sneijder has rubbished rumours of a switch to city rivals AC Milan as "nonsense".

Italian media had reported on Thursday that the Dutch midfielder would consider a summer move to the Rossoneri.

"A move to Milan? That's nonsense," Sneijder told reporters.

"Those reports lack foundation."

Sneijder's future with the Nerazzurri has been the subject of speculation for some time now as the club continue to struggle in the post-Jose Mourinho era. Sneijder played an instrumental role in leading Inter to a famous treble in Mourinho's last season at the San Siro but since then both the player and the club have enjoyed little success on the pitch.

Sneijder has already played for two different managers this season with Inter currently stuttering in seventh-place in Serie A, a massive 17 points behind leaders AC Milan.

Besides crashing out of the Coppa Italia at the hands of Napoli earlier in the year, the Nerazzurri also lost their Champions League round-of-16 tie with Olympique de Marseille on Tuesday.

Inter president Massimo Moratti has suggested the club could forego short-term success in a bid to rebuild for the future.
