Wesley Sneijder Joins Balotelli At Nice

Nice have confirmed the signing of Wesley Sneijder after the Dutch international passed a medical on Monday. The 33-year had agreed a contract in principle to move to Ligue 1 having been released by Galatasaray and with the deal confirmed on Monday afternoon, the midfielder will be reunited with Mario Balotelli, with whom he won the Champions League with Inter Milan in 2010.

Sneijder was with Galatasaray for five seasons, where he scored 45 goals in 174 appearances following a 2013 move from Inter. Sneijder, who trained with his new team-mates on Monday, will wear No 10 after Mickaƫl Le Bihan agreed to pass on the shirt number to the new signing.
A statement on the club's website said “It's now official. OGC Nice's 2017-18 squad now has a third UEFA Champions League winner in it. After Dante and Mario Balotelli, former European champion Wesley Sneijder will also wear the red-and-black shirt this season after passing a medical on Monday. He also knows which shirt he'll be wearing this season. Mika Le Bihan respectfully agreed to 'give up' the number 10 he had been wearing it to present it to the new arrival in the dressing room”
