Liverpool Rubbish Sneijder Transfer Speculation

Liverpool has dismissed claims of a £9.5 million bid for Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur target Wesley Sneijder.

Weekend reports in Italy speculated that Reds boss Brendan Rodgers had tabled an offer for the Inter Milan playmaker, who is currently unsettled in Serie 'A'.

However, a club insider has 'rubbished' claims over a bid for the player, with The Sun reporting that Liverpool have not made an offer.

The 28-year-old attacking midfielder is in dispute with the San Siro outfit after the club suggested Sneijder take a £1.6 million pay cut.

Currently earning £200,000 a week, according to the national newspaper, Sneijder is out of the first team because of the situation and is poised to leave the club in the New Year.

"Clearly, it’s best for everyone if I’m transferred in January. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll stay with Inter — I have a contract with them until 2015,” he's quoted as saying by the paper.

Despite a move to Anfield to join Liverpool now looking unlikely, other Premier League clubs are said to be keen on the player.
