Adri rejects Fluminense reports
Thursday 20 November, 2008

Adriano has laughed off suggestions that he will leave Inter for Brazilian side Fluminense.

The 26-year-old's future is in doubt after he fell out with Jose Mourinho when he turned up late for training and phoned in sick.

The Brazilian media have suggested that Adri may head back to his homeland and could be used in a part-exchange deal for Fluminense defensive ace Thiago Silva,
but he has denied such talk while on international duty with Brazil.

“I'm only in Brazil to wear the Selecao shirt,” he told the Brazilian Football Federation's website.

“I can only stress that I have a contract with Inter until 2010 and I have not heard anything from Fluminense over the past few days.

“I may return to Rio de Janeiro in the future, but it would only be to join Flamengo - the team I support.”

Adri may be key to Silva
Milan and Inter are vying for the signature of Brazilian defender Thiago Silva and the Nerazzurri may use Adriano as a bargaining chip. More
