Sneijder on Memphis, reveals approach from São Paulo side | OneFootball

Former player Wesley Sneijder made a surprise appearance on F Show, ESPN’s afternoon program, and revealed that he had received an offer from a Brazilian club, without saying which team it was. The former Dutch midfielder also commented on the situation involving Memphis Depay, who is in a dispute over a new deal with Corinthians.

Runner-up at the 2010 World Cup, Sneijder joined a video call through the phone of guest Lucas Tylty, influencer and president of Dibrados, a Kings League team. Alongside Du Meneses and Rodrigo Bueno, the Dutchman was in great spirits and spoke about his country’s current national team.

“Which current player would make the 2010 national team? Memphis Depay wouldn’t. Van Dijk might be the only one, but not right now. Memphis is a very good forward, but the problem is that he struggles with a lot of physical issues and can’t play in a World Cup at such a high level,” he said.

Sneijder also praised Brazilian football and recalled an opportunity to play in the country.

“Football in Brazil is growing. I had an option to play in Brazil and, in the end, I preferred not to go. The level of Brazilian football is high, better than in the Netherlands. There was a team that called me every day to play there, but I can’t remember which one it was,” he said evasively.

Asked by Du Meneses whether the offer had come from a club in São Paulo state, Sneijder replied jokingly: “I think it was from São Paulo. They remember.”
