Wesley Sneijder says that he had no choice but to leave Inter Milan in January, but insists that he has fond memories of his time at the Nerazzurri.

Galatasaray playmaker Wesley Sneijder has said that he maintains a "good relationship" with his former club Inter Milan.

The Netherlands international joined the Turkish giants from Inter in January following a contract dispute that saw him left out of the team for weeks.

"[Inter coach Andrea] Stramaccioni had to do what he had to do," he told Volkskrant. "He has a great opportunity at Inter.

"It was not his fault. I have always had a good relationship with the club and the president (Massimo Moratti). I realised, at a certain point that I had to leave. But I took responsibility, as I always do.

"I am happy now. Galatasaray is a great club. I knew I had to come here – there's not point crying over the past."

Sneijder won Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League with Inter in 2009-10.
