Adri could quit the game
Wednesday 8 April, 2009

There are whispers in Brazil that Inter enigma Adriano could quit football after his latest bout of wanderlust.

The Brazilian marksman disobeyed Inter's orders to return after travelling to his homeland for World Cup 2010 qualifiers last week.

Adriano seems to be in a fragile mental state and his future is up in the air.

According to Brazilian newspaper Lance, L'Imperatore told Brazil Coach Carlos Dunga that he wants to quit football after the fixture against Peru.

The 27-year-old has struggled to adapt to life in the spotlight and reportedly returns to the favelas where he grew up regularly.

It remains to be seen whether Adri will cut his promising career short and hang his boots up at such a young age, but he is unlikely to play for Inter again.
