Wesley Sneijder has ruled out linking up with Jose Mourinho at Chelsea this summer, explaining that he loves life at current club Galatasaray.
Sneijder won the Champions League under Mourinho at Inter in 2010 and has been linked with a move to Chelsea, where the Portuguese is now in charge, to rekindle their special relationship.
The Dutchman keeps in close contact with Mourinho, who even advised him over his Galatasaray move in January.
But, Sneijder says, a reunion is not on the cards.

"I have a special relationship with Jose Mourinho and I have enjoyed working with him, but I can’t leave Galatasaray, who I am happy to play for", he told Turkish daily Milliyet.
"I want to play for the club until January at a minimum and help the team. I love being in Istanbul."
Sneijder helped Galatasaray to win the Turkish Super Lig title this season and it is a feat he will surely look to repeat in 2013/14, if he does not exit in the winter transfer window.
