Turkish Super Lig top guns Galatasaray have slapped a €15m price tag on their playmaker Wesley Sneijder amid speculation that the Dutchman is set to reunite with his old boss Jose Mourinho at Chelsea in the upcoming transfer window.
Mourinho worked with Sneijder at Inter Milan in 2009, and while he soon left to manage at Real Madrid a year later, Sneijder continued to play in Nerazzurri colours, until he moved to Galatasaray last January.
Sneijder has not made secret his dream of working with Mourinho again, publicly airing his continued communication with the Portuguese tactician even long after the two parted ways in 2010.
True enough, it is believed that the desire for a reunion is mutual, as the new Chelsea manager is credited with a plan to bring the Dutch playmaker to Stamford Bridge as one of his signings this summer.

Amid the talk, Galatasaray appear willing to consent to the deal, but only if their valuation of Sneijder is met. Chairman Unal Aysal told Turkish media SporX TV, "With a bid of €15M or above, we will consider a sale."
Sneijder has made a total 16 appearances for Galatasaray since his arrival at the club in January, scoring four goals along the way.
The playmaker is also a Dutch international, having made a total of 92 appearance for Oranje thus far, scoring 24 goals.
