Zenit St Petersburg coach Luciano Spalletti has admitted that he would be keen to lure Netherlands international Wesley Sneijder away from Inter.
The Italian trainer is eager to add a high profile name to his squad before the Russian transfer window shuts later this month, and has revealed that the attacking midfielder would be an ideal addition to the Zenit squad.
Nevertheless, Spalletti realises that it will be difficult to prise the former Real Madrid star away from the Nerazzurri.
"Who would not welcome a player like Sneijder? However, when we are talking about a player of his calibre, things become much more difficult," Spalletti was quoted as saying by Itasportpress.
"He is wanted by many top clubs, and he has an ongoing contract with Inter. I do not think they are willing to sell him at this point."
The 27-year-old midfielder has an agreement with the 2010 Champions League winners until the summer of 2015. He recently admitted that he is uncertain about his future amidst continual links with Manchester United.
