The Netherlands' former midfielder, Wesley Snape, has decided to return active football without filling a full year of retirement. Dutch media have reported on Tuesday that Sneider at the end of this month will begin with group exercises before joining Utrecht's team. On July 27, Snape will train with the team [...]

As soon as he is physically prepared, Sneijder will join the Utrecht team that competes in the Netherlands football elite and has already offered him one year's contract with the possibility of continuing. Sneijder decided in August last year to withdraw from active football after his adventures at Galatasaray, Nice and Al-Gharafa. His decision to return to football comes only weeks after Arjen Robben, who made a similar move. Even Robben suddenly decided to return active soccer after retirement by signing with Groningen, a team where he even began his career as a professional. At Utrecht they are willing to welcome 36-year-old Sneiider, who sees him as a major reinforcement for the new edition.

We've talked to him about a return of it and he's ready, but first he'll have to work a little bit on restoring shape and physical preparation. A good-shaped Sneijder will be a strong weapon for our team at the new edition of”, said the director of Grecht, Jordy Zuidam.

Sneijder is a football player with the highest performance in Holland, 134 soos until he achieved 31 goals from 2003 to 2018. That career has been made in Ajaxi, Real Madrid, and Inter, a team that has won trophies, including the Champions League.
