Wesley Sneijder is facing a serious contractual issue at Galatasaray, where he hasn’t been paid for the past three months. The Dutch midfielder, currently with the national team, is reportedly owed €1 million by the Turkish club.
⚠️ Key Details:
-
Unpaid wages: Sneijder has not received his salary for three months.
-
Contract status: His current deal with Galatasaray runs until June 2016.
-
Potential legal action: If the financial delay continues, Sneijder could appeal to FIFA to unilaterally terminate his contract.
🔍 Background:
Sneijder, 31, is a high-profile figure at Galatasaray, having joined from Inter Milan in 2013. Despite his on-field importance, financial instability at the club appears to be affecting even top earners like him.
⚖️ What Could Happen Next:
If Galatasaray doesn’t resolve the payment issue soon:
-
Sneijder may terminate his contract through FIFA.
-
He would then become a free agent, possibly attracting interest from clubs in Europe, the Middle East, or MLS.
-
The situation could further damage Galatasaray’s reputation among international players.
This financial dispute marks another chapter in the growing tensions between players and Turkish clubs over late payments—a recurring problem in recent years.
