Sneijder agrees to join Nice
Nice will aim to complete the signing of Netherlands playmaker Wesley Sneijder on Monday in order to bolster their Champions League bid.
Ligue 1 side Nice have reached an agreement to sign experienced Netherlands playmaker Wesley Sneijder on a free transfer.
Sneijder was released by Galatasaray last month after four seasons with the Turkish Super Lig giants.
Nice confirmed a deal with the 33-year-old on Sunday, subject to the successful completion of a medical a day later.
The terms of his contract were not disclosed, although Sneijder is expected to pen a one-year deal to be reunited with former Inter team-mate Mario Balotelli.
