Galatasaray star Wesley Sneijder might be on the move to Montreal

According to Turkish sports website Sporx, Galatasaray star Wesley Sneijder might be on the move to the MLS and the Montreal Impact.

The 33-year-old midfielder is looking to leave Galatasaray as he has one more year on his contract with the team and if he can't find a good deal with a European club he will then look to the MLS for a deal. The Montreal Impact seem to rank among the options in the MLS as he played with both Didier Drogba and Dzemaili back in Galatasaray so there is a great connection there.

Wesley Sneijder won't be a cheap transfer to the MLS, Sneijder is currently making $4.5 million per season with Galatasaray and has a transfer fee of around $7.5 million dollars. In the past Impact owner, Joey Saputo usually gets most of his DP players on a free transfer so seeing Joey Saputo spending $7.5 Million on a single player is unlikely.

If Wesley Sneijder were to come over to Canada and play with the Montreal Impact it would be a huge addition to the club. It would go down as one of the biggest names to join the Impact after Nesta and Drogba. A midfield trio of Dzemaili, Piatti & Sneijder would be absolutely deadly and would cause many of the Impact opponents problems.
