Wesley Sneijder may have been linked with Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea but he rather likes life in Milan, where he plays for Internazionale.

Sneijder has been touted as the ideal replacement for the recently-retired Paul Scholes at Old Trafford, while Roberto Mancini has also been linked with the Dutch creator at Eastlands.

However, Sneijder is certainly not about to force a move, revealing he would happily stay in Italy unless his club tells him to leave.

"There is a family atmosphere at Inter and there are all the ingredients to aim high," he told Corriere dello Sport.

"Milan is marvellous, picturesque and full of elegance. I love it. At the moment I am very happy here and I don't see why I should leave."

Sneijder's high wage demands had been seen as a stumbling block to any move but now a seeming lack of willingness to head to England seem to present further holes in the expectation that the World Cup 2010 star will be playing in the Premier League next season.
