Internazionale president Massimo Moratti slammed press speculation that much-travelled forward Christian Vieri will be placed on the transfer list in the New Year.
The latest stories to emanate about the Italian forward's future come after an ironic gesture the ex-Atletico Madrid star made to an Inter fan who whistled at him during the win over Reggina.

The former Juventus man applauded the fan, but Moratti said the rumours were nothing more than the mischievous agenda of people in the press, to unsettle the star.

"It's useless me commenting on this news," said Moratti. "It's clear that writing certain things is on some people's agenda, and so they will continue doing it."

The Giuseppe Meazza supremo added that in fact, Vieri's gesture will ultimately endear him to the Inter fans.

He said: "As I've already said, there is a need to have these kind of situations to allow a growing affection and I think this is what happened in the match against Reggina.

"Supporters wanted to clap him, Vieri wanted to be clapped, and at the end he deserved it."
