Adriano may stay after all

Inter coach Jose Mourinho, who last month hinted Adriano could leave after questioning the Brazilian's commitment, says the troubled striker may remain with the Italian champions after all.

"I think he will stay with us," Mourinho told Sky television.

"Like we've already said, it seems logical and right to finish the season with this group.

"Adriano is working well and if all goes to plan he will play in one of the next three games."

Adriano's agent Gilmar Rinaldi also stated that the player won't be leaving Inter despite reports that Inter could make a bid for Genoa hitman Diego Milito.

"Adriano will be staying at Inter for the year-and-a-half that remains on his contract," Rinaldi said.

"This decision was never in doubt."
