| Adriano 'in Brazil indefinitely' |
Sunday 5 April, 2009 |

Adriano “will not return to Italy on Monday” as he is in Rio de Janeiro with his family and “wants to watch the Flamengo-Fluminense derby.”
The Inter striker has finally made contact with agent Gilmar Rinaldi, who confessed this week he had no idea why the player had not caught the flight back from international duty.
Many reports have circulated in Brazil over the weekend as to his whereabouts and plans, including a theory he would return to Italy on Monday.
“No, he won't be coming back to Italy tomorrow,” explained Rinaldi on Globo TV.
The agent also quashed reports Adriano had been kidnapped, attempted suicide or was found in a party in the slums where he grew up.
“These people are crazy, absolutely none of that is true. Adriano is at his home in Rio with his family and will go to see some local games.
“In particular he wants to be there for the Flamengo-Fluminense derby. I even heard stories that I was in Rio right now in a police station waiting for Adriano to be interrogated, but I'm in San Paolo!”
The fact remains that Adriano is wilfully disobeying Inter's orders to return to base and his career with the club is effectively over.
There was no explanation as to why he made this decision to stay in Brazil or how long this will drag on.
L'Imperatore's contract expires in June 2010 and he admitted before going AWOL that he was not sure whether to seek a renewal.
