Inter defender Fabio Grosso wants to extend his stay at the San Siro despite the rumours linking him with a summer switch.

The former Palermo man was recently paired with a move after reports fuelled speculation that the player had a difficult relationship with Coach Roberto Mancini, with Roma one possible destination.

“Grosso never had any problems with Mancini, my client isn’t the kind of person who creates tension in the dressing room,” his agent Silvio Pagliari told Teleradiostereo.

“He has no intention of leaving Inter, he likes it here and does not want to change club,” added the Nerazzurro’s manager.

“His last season was unlucky because of a number of physical problems, but he is eager to show his true value and wants to repay Inter’s trust.

“The rumours about Roma? It is my understanding that they are absolutely groundless,” concluded Pagliari.

Grosso was close to joining the Giallorossi last summer before moving to the San Siro in a £4.5m deal before excelling at the World Cup in Germany.
