ANKARA, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder has agreed to join Turkey's Galatasaray sport club from Italian giants Inter Milan, Turkish Daily News reported on Monday, confirming that he would arrive at Istanbul for a medical examination on late Monday.
Earlier this month, Galatasaray announced to reach an agreement with Inter on the transfer of the midfielder, said the report, adding that the club and fans had been waiting for the answer for weeks.
The contract is reported to be three and a half years and worth 5 million euro (6.66 million US dollars) per season.
Sneijder had helped Inter to win the the Italian League and Cup and the Champions League in 2010 before falling out favor since the departure of coach Jose Mourinho.
He has played in just five matches under coach Andrea Stramaccioni this season. Despite a disappointing campaign, the Dutchman remains one of the highest-profile midfielders today.
