Inter: Adriano won't move

Internazionale have issued a hands-off warning to those clubs eyeing Adriano.

The gifted Brazilian has emerged as one of the world's hottest properties after a Serie A campaign that has yielded 26 goals in 35 starts.

Chelsea are thought to be the club most likely to test Internazionale's desire to keep their prized asset with a huge bid this close-season.

However, president Giacinto Facchetti insists the Milan giants have no intention of relinquishing their talismanic striker.

''Adriano? He will stay with us,'' said Facchetti.

''I know he is eyed by many big sides but he won't move.

''This season we started badly, earning 11 draws from the first 13 matches.

''Then we found the right balance. We are ready for next season. We will try to make just small changes because starting in a good way is very important.''
