Wesley Sneijder to take legal action against Galatasaray over fine

Galatasaray midfielder Wesley Sneijder is considering legal action against the club after being fined £1.85m for picking up 10 yellow cards last season.

The agent of Galatasaray midfielder Wesley Sneijder has confirmed that his client is considering legal action against the club over a £1.85m fine.

The 32-year-old, who signed a new contract with the Turkish outfit in October, was hit with the hefty punishment for picking up 10 yellow cards in the Super Lig last season.

However, his agent Guido Albers believes that Galatasaray are trying to "bully" Sneijder out of the club in order to earn a transfer fee for him.

"Galatasaray are trying to bully Wesley out of the club. Of course, Wesley will not accept his punishment. It is a real shame that such a big club are stooping so low. Our lawyer has gotten in touch with FIFPro and the Turkish union," Albers told De Telegraaf.

"They are only doing this in an attempt to get a €7.5m (£6.4m) transfer fee for him. Wesley's contract would expire this summer, but the club were desperate to keep him here. The fans love him and he would be part of the new Galatasaray. But it looks like it was all about getting a transfer fee for him.

"They did not want him to leave on a free. His wages should not be a problem if you look at some of the other contracts they have handed out. Sneijder will not let the club bully him out. If Wesley leaves, it's because he wants to move. But he is happy to stay put until the end of his contract."

Sneijder has scored 40 goals in 142 games since joining Galatasaray in 2013.
