Wesley Sneijder confirms Qatar move

Wesley Sneijder has revealed that he is leaving Nice to join Qatari outfit Al-Gharafa.

Sneijder only joined Nice in the summer after being released by Galatasaray, but the experienced midfielder has struggled for football in France during the 2017-18 campaign.

The 33-year-old has confirmed that his spell at Nice has come to an end, and he will now link up with Al-Gharafa in the Qatar Stars League after accepting an 18-month contract.

"It's a nice adventure and a fun challenge," Sneijder told RTL Boulevard. "I am really happy to go for it together with my family."

Sneijder has also represented the likes of Real Madrid and Inter Milan during a successful playing career.
