Sneijder,
who has made just five appearances for Inter this season, has refused to sign
new contract while he is frozen out of the first team, but president Massimo
Moratti remains confident a deal can be struck.
The
Netherlands star has been left out of Andrea Stramaccioni's side as a dispute
over his current deal continues, with the club insistent the player accept a
cut to his €6 million salary.
Although Moratti had previously insisted there was no animosity between the San Siro outfit and the player, Sneijder has made it clear that he will not commit to a new deal while he is not involved in the first team.
The 28-year-old told reporters: "At this moment I'm not playing, I have no intention of signing Inter's contract."Sneijder's statement is at odds with the words of Moratti, who had earlier expressed a belief that an agreement could be reached over the issue.

The
68-year-old told reporters: "I've spoken to those who attended the
meeting, they sounded quite pleased. "Both parties behaved sensibly.
Now it's up to them, it's up to Sneijder, who is still an Inter player of
course. We'll see."I think a lot of this has come from the media and
obviously we're trying to agree on certain things, otherwise he'll stay at the
club. What's important is that he's fit and playing well, that's all I care
about." Moratti also stated he would not need to attend any further talks
in person, saying: "This is something which can be resolved easily. If
they need me though, I will of course be there."He also moved to clarify
the player's position within the first team, insisting the former Real Madrid
man will return to the side soon. "Of course [he'll play again], as
soon as he's ready," added Moratti."He's ready to play if he's fit
and on form, not just because he's Sneijder."
