| No rescission for Adri just yet |

Inter have yet to rescind Adriano's contract and negotiations are still very much in progress, according to his agent, Gilmar Rinaldi.
The troubled 27-year-old striker failed to return from international duty earlier this month, then went missing and later announced he would be taking a sabbatical from football.
Inter would like to come to a gentleman's agreement with Adriano and terminate his contract forthwith, freeing up around £12m that could be used in the transfer market this summer.
“We are still looking for a solution,” Rinaldi told the Brazilian Press. “The rescission of the contract has yet to be defined. I am still going over a through things and considering whether to leave for Italy.”
The Italian Press, meanwhile, expect a decision to be made over the next week or so and foresee Adriano giving up the remainder of his contract, which still has a year to run, for little or no compensation.
However, Inter are believed to want Adriano's word that he will not join any of their rivals in the near or distant future.
The Nerazzurri have let Christian Vieri and Ronaldo go in the past, only to see them end up across town at Milan.
When asked if he had received any offers for Adriano, Rinaldi replied: “There has been no contact regarding his passing to another club.”
Milan have been linked with the former Flamengo youngster, as have Roma and Turkish outfit Fenerbahçe.
Despite his problems, Adriano remains one of the world's most feared strikers. He has scored 125 goals in 295 career appearances.
