It is the second dutch player that the Spanish Champions have signed in as many days. First it was Royston Drenthe from Feyenoord and now Real have raided Ajax for this home grown talent. The 23 year old is expected to have cost Real 27M and has signed a 5 year deal today after clearing the medical. He is the 6 th signing and new face at Real following Metzelder, Pepe, Saviola, Dudek and Drenthe.
Real are looking to solve their problems in midfield and definitely the highly rated and talented Sneijder is a good option. Well people who have seen him play for Ajax would know how good this young play maker is. He is sweet with either foot and can play either side and is a genuine goal scoring attacking midfielder.
One of my friends always used to be so impressed with Ajax in the number of talents they nurture. Ajax is hurt in Sneijder leaving but it was Wesley's dream move. Especially at a time when Ajax are about to play Champions League qualifiers.
Sneijder will definitely be one piece of the puzzle in midfield for Real, and if he can showcase his abilities he should be an instant hit with the Bernabeu faithfuls. If Real indeed end up buying Robben as well it will be a team with 4 Dutch men including Van Nistelrooy, similar to an Arsenal team a few years back with all the french players. Here is a video showcasing his skills and some amazing rocket shots....
