;DInter Milan have dismissed fresh reports linking striker Christian Vieri with a move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea, who had a bid for the 30-year-old rejected in the summer, are again said to be still interested in the Italy international.
However, Inter's sporting director Marco Branca has dismissed the speculation,
"Vieri is not under discussion.Vieri is not on the market," he said.
Vieri has had an indifferent season so far and openly criticised his club following the sale of former team-mate Hernan Crespo to Chelsea earlier this summer.
On the pitch, the former Juventus forward has scored just five of the 20 goals netted by Inter in Serie A this season.
But Branca added: "We are talking about the forward of the national team. A striker that at Inter has scored so many goals and has been a regular star.
"Vieri is a great resource and will return to be great," he said.
