There is every intention on the clubs part to come out of the transfer window stronger not less so. But two years ago,Ibrahimovic left and the team was reinforced, Gasperini said.

All the players I have know how to play in many different roles. Last year,Sneijder also played in different positions, he added.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is a firm admirer of Sneijders talents and was linked with a 29 million pounds bid for the 27-year-old last year.

Sneijder has been in terrific form for Inter since joining from Real Madrid in 2009 and was a key member of their historic Treble-winning side two seasons ago.
