Sneijder already speaks Dutch, Italian, English and Spanish and has a basic knowledge of Turkish.

“Now it’s a bit more difficult,” Sneijder said at a press conference April 15.

“Give us one more year, and we will make the same press conference in Turkish.”

Sneijder had been closely linked with a move to Juventus and Manchester United but Galatasaray rejected the offers.

The 30-year-old joined Galatasaray from Inter in 2013 for €8 million and still has just under two-years left on his contract.
