Inter: No Sneijder bids yet
Inter Milan technical director Marco Branca insists the Italian giants have not received any official offers for Wesley Sneijder.[LNB] Manchester United have been strongly linked with a move for the 27-year-old, as have big-spending Spanish side Malaga, but Inter say they have not received any concrete bid for the playmaker who is under contract until June 2015.[LNB]Branca said on the club's official website: "No, there has not been an official offer and there has never been the intention to listen to them.[LNB]"Hence, the player is getting on with his work and so are we. There are no updates.[LNB]"It's not surprising that Sneijder is a player that is liked by many teams, including the strongest in the world like our team is.[LNB]"He is not for sale."[LNB]Branca also denied reports in the Italian press that a meeting was scheduled this week between Sneijder's agent and Inter.[LNB]"No, there are no meetings planned," he said. "We don't sell by force."[LNB]Sneijder, who is in pre-season training with Inter, has stated several times this summer that he wants to remain in Milan.[LNB]He joined from Real Madrid in 2009 and helped the Nerazzurri to a Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia treble in his first season.[LNB]Inter hope to complete the signing of Brazilian full-back Jonathan from Santos later on Wednesday.[LNB]The 25-year-old has a release clause set at 15million euros and is under contract with the South American giants for a further three seasons.[LNB]When asked about Jonathan's possible arrival, Branca said: "We're working on the last few details and if everything gets sorted out - because with the time difference there are always a few hitches with getting signatures and sending documents via fax - then he may come up here [to Pinzolo] today."[LNB]Jonathan won the Copa Libertadores with Santos just seven months after joining the club from Cruzeiro.[LNB]He is considered a potential successor for Inter defender Maicon, who has been linked in recent months with a move to Real Madrid.[LNB]Branca, meanwhile, denied reports Inter are keen to acquire Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Arturo Vidal.[LNB]The 24-year-old has attracted the interest of both Juventus and Bayern Munich after his impressive performances for Leverkusen last season.[LNB]Vidal, who is currently with Argentina in the Copa America, is under contract with Leverkusen for a further season.[LNB]"Vidal? He's not in our plans," Branca said.
