Vieira cools transfer talk
Monday 25 May, 2009

Inter's French international Patrick Vieira has played down suggestions that he is headed to Ligue 1 this summer.

The Senegal-born star has played a minor role under Jose Mourinho this season and his future at San Siro seems to have been jeopardised by a lack of first-team football.

In recent weeks it has been widely reported that Vieira has set his sights on a move to PSG or Lyon, but the experienced midfielder has calmed those rumours.

“I am feeling good physically and my place is here,” Vieira said in an interview with L'Equipe.

“There is no problem of any kind. Nobody has come to tell me that I have to leave and I have never asked to be transferred.”

The 32-year-old arrived from Juventus in the aftermath of the Calciopoli crisis and has played just over 50 games for the Nerazzurri since.
