Reports in Italy claim that Valencia have offered 15million euros for Internazionale striker Adriano, but the approach has been turned down by the Serie A champions.

The Spanish side's offer is believed to fall well short of Adriano's valuation, with suggestions that Internazionale have slapped a 25million euro fee on the Brazilian as they look to deter potential suitors.

The offer is likely to spark an increased amount of bidding activity around Adriano, but his club have previously stated their intention to keep him, despite his personal and injury problems last season.

Adriano is contracted to Inter until 2010, and it remains to be seen as to whether Inter will cash in.

Valencia would face a difficult job in persuading Adriano to move away from the San Siro, after he previously stated he would only be interested in joining a fellow Serie A team.

Not in the club's plans

Meanwhile, Valencia playmaker Stefano Fiore has confirmed that he is looking to leave, saying he has been informed that he is not in the club's plans.

Fiore has seemingly fallen foul to coach Quique Sanchez Flores' new tactical system, and he told Gazzetta dello Sport that he has been reduced to training alone.

"I've spoken with the sporting director, a really good person and he, practically embarrassed, explained to me that for tactical matters I'm not in the club's plans," he revealed.

"I've started training on my own. The coach? I've met him once. He told me he would have spoken with me, but I've never seen him.

"I have not got a good fitness condition but once I've found it back, I'd like to be treated like the other players.

"I'm a Valencia player too and I think I should have the same rights as my team-mates. I don't see other ways than to leave."
