Jose Mourinho has been told he can have a reunion with Wesley Sneijder in exchange for £12.75million.

The Galatasaray midfielder worked with the Special One to clinch the Italian league and cup Double and European Cup at Inter Milan three years ago.

Injuries and poor form, however, have seen Sneijder lose the Holland captaincy to Manchester United striker Robin van Persie.

He recently declared himself interested in again working with Mourinho, who will set about tweaking the Stamford Bridge squad he inherited from Rafa Benitez after being officially unveiled on Monday.

And Galatasaray president Unal Aysal has told the west Londoners that the 29-year-old can go if the price is right. He said: “I have been following the rumours about Sneijder, but we have not received an offer for him.

“If an offer in the region of €15million (£12.75m) comes in, we might decide to sell him though.”

Those comments could also interest Spurs, who are long-time admirers of the midfield schemer.

Sneijder is seen at White Hart Lane as the kind of experienced leader that Andre Villas-Boas’ side have lacked in recent seasons.

The north Londoners, however, also have reservations about the kind of expenditure it would take to land Sneijder as they seek players who can deliver a return to the Champions League - especially when there are so many doubts around his fitness.

They could be helped by how much being stripped of the national armband hurt Sneijder.

The superstar has vowed to work hard to prove Dutch coach Louis van Gaal wrong.

He said: “It was a pretty painful announcement. Not just because I never saw this coming, but also because I have always given my all in the role as captain.

“I will have to accept this, though. It was a huge blow for me. The coach told me that I should focus on myself for now and use my energy to regain top fitness.

“I was planning to do that any way, though. I am more eager than ever before.

“I know that I have not shown enough recently and that I will have to step it up a notch. But I am confident that I can reach my level from the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 again.”
