Adriano rules out move to Chelsea

Inter Milan striker Adriano has insisted he has no interest in signing for Chelsea despite being linked with a move to the Premiership champions.
The Brazil international, who scored 16 goals in Serie A last season, had been tipped for a £60m move to England.

"Throughout the season Chelsea have been there with a multi-million pound offer but appear to have become more determined," he told Jornal do Brazil.

"I'm happy to know that but am happy in Milan where I'm treated like a king."

Adriano joined Inter Milan from Italian rivals Parma in 2003 and has pledged to stay at the club for at least one more season.

"I hope to complete one more year there at least and I don't think about leaving," he said.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted a striker is one of his summer transfer priorities.

"Three are leaving, three are coming in," Mourinho told Portuguese newspaper A Bola.

"We're going to bring in a left-back, a midfielder and a centre-forward."

Adriano is only going to be an Inter player for at least 1 more year imo

$:-\$

Adriano has only pledged the next year of his career to Inter and that could spark a massive player swap that includes Walter Samuel and Michael Owen.

"Next season I will definitely be wearing the Nerazzurri jersey," he told TV Record, "but if we don't win anything then I will ask to be sold after the 2006 World Cup."

I just cant c inter winning the serie A or the champions league nxt season...
