The 23-year-old Dutch international moved quickly after discovering that scouts for his current club had sent back very favourable reports about his sibling, Rodney.
Before Madrid could make an official approach, Wesley asked them to stop and told his brother that he shoujld stay where he is and first break into the Ajax side.
"Real Madrid wanted him and Rodney was very happy about that. But when I heard, I stopped the discussions. I am not in favour of juniors increasingly going to top clubs," Sneijder senior explained.
"I've told him that he first must make a break through at Ajax."
Journalists in Holland have given Rodney the odd nickname of the Patient Pitbull and great things are expected of him, but for Wesley that will first come in Amsterdam with Ajax and not in Madrid.
