Inter: Adriano is staying

Inter Milan have stated that Adriano will be going nowhere in the January transfer window. Man City have been linked with a move for the Brazilian striker in an £8m deal, West Ham have also expressed an interest in the Brazilian.

"I would like him back here in January, as strong and as good as he was," said Moratti.

"He will give us a good help in the decisive phase of the season."

Thaksin Shinawatra had earlier emphasised how good of a player Adriano was.

"Adriano was a top player, but he lost form when his father died, and he put on weight. Now he's returning to form," he said.
