"Figo is an Inter player and he will stay at Inter," Mancini was quoted as saying by Calcio Italia magazine said upon arrival in Bahrain to play their national side during the winter break.

The Portuguese winger was linked with a move to Ittihad Jeddah on a luxurious six-month offer.

The Saudi side claimed that they have finalized the deal and said Figo will sign the contract in a huge press conference in Dubai in the second week of January.

Mancini also brushed aside reports saying that Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham is targeted by Inter.

"Furthermore, just as Figo is an Inter player, Beckham is a Real Madrid player. And out of respect I never talk about players who belong to other clubs," he said.
