"Adriano wants to play at Inter, there are no doubts about this." Rinaldi was quoted as saying by Calcio Italia magazine.

The 24-year-old hasn't scored since March, the form that prompted the Italian giants to give him a week's rest in Brazil to regain full fitness.

"He will come to Brazil for a week and then he will be return to train at the Pinetina with Inter – that is where he wants to stay," Rinaldi added.

Adriano's Return to his native sparkled rumors linking him with a loan move to Flamengo where he started his career.

"I am very surprised to read this news, as it is invented. We have never spoken with Inter about this option," Flamengo president Kleber Leite said.
