Adriano for Flamengo?

Flamengo are reportedly chasing Inter Milan striker Adriano. West Ham were also linked with the Brazilian striker, who is very unhappy in Italy.

Adriano started his career at Flamengo and it is thought that he is more open to a move to them rather than Sao Paulo, who are also thought to be interested.

Inter Milan are only interested in negotiating a permanent move away from the San Siro for Adriano and Flamengo may only be able to afford the transfer fee if they qualify for the Copa Libertadores. They currently lie third in the league with two games remaining. The top four sides qualify for the competition.

Adriano's agent Gilmar Rinaldi has played down reports of his client moving back to Brazil.
