There’s never a transfer window that happens without Liverpool being linked with a ridiculous number of players and one of the deals that never was came in 2013 when Wesley Sneijder was heavily linked with the Reds.
Speaking to Vandaag Inside, the Dutchman explained why the move never came to fruition (translated via Sports Joe):
“Why Galatasaray and not Liverpool? But I am a winner, I play for prizes, so I went to Galatasaray because I thought that I would win more at Galatasaray and be champion than at Liverpool, and I think that afterwards I made the right decision. I have had good years in Turkey.”

It’s certainly not a compliment from the 38-year-old and it won’t do much to endear himself to our supporters, but he may have used this as an opportunity to strengthen his relationship with the Galatasaray fans.
We were a very different club a decade ago and it’s hard to imagine that the former Real Madrid midfielder could have turned down Jurgen Klopp’s side today.
