Pellegrini wanted Sneijder to stay

But Sneijder claims it was other people at the club that forced him to join Inter Milan.

“What has happened with me is something very strange. The coach said he counted on me but there are people at the club who don’t,” he told Marca.

“They have treated me very badly but I prefer not to talk about it. I’m going to give everything there [Inter]. Life and football move on.”
