Wesley Sneijder claims he rejected a move to Liverpool - in order to win trophies.

And the Dutch midfielder claims he made the right choice turning down Brendan Rodgers in January 2013, opting for Turkish giants Galatasaray instead.

Now 33, Sneijder left Inter Milan after three-and-a-half years with the Serie A side, but had fallen out of favour.

The player claims he was in-demand but opted to swap Milan for Istanbul, choosing to snub supposed advances from Liverpool.

A move to Merseyside failed to materialise, he claims, because he would wanted to win trophies.

“Many clubs wanted to know when I was leaving Inter, and Liverpool was one of those clubs, so people were surprised I chose Galatasaray,” he told Alkass Sports Channels.

“Why Galatasaray and not Liverpool? But I am a winner, I play for prizes, so I went to Galatasaray because I thought that I would win more at Galatasaray and be champion than at Liverpool, and I think afterwards that I made the right choice.

“I have had nice years in Turkey.”

Sneijder spent four years with Galatasaray, lifting two league titles and enjoying three Turkish cup wins.

After a year in Nice, he now plays for Qatari side Al-Gharafa.
