Inter President Massimo Moratti has commented on the speculation concerning Christian Vieri, Ronaldo and Adriano.
Vieri’s future at the club has again been cast in doubt after he refused to be included in the squad to face Udinese.
Those actions angered his Coach and his club, who have fined him, but Moratti insists he was misquoted concerning previous remarks he made about the striker.
"I said that all of my players are available for transfer but wasn’t hinting at Vieri in particular," he said.
"My words were not understood in the correct manner and I don’t understand why we always have to talk about Vieri.
"The situation between the club and the player is now resolved without the need for any further discussions."
Moratti was also asked about claims made, by his technical director Marco Branca, that Inter wanted Ronaldo back.
"You can never say never in football but there hasn’t been any contact," he explained.
"Ronaldo is at Real Madrid where he has his own objectives. I don’t think ours match right now."
Another player that is wanted by the club is Adriano. The Parma man is being linked with an immediate arrival but Moratti is rather pessimistic on that possibility.
"We are talking to Parma in a bid to find a solution which is advantageous to us and them," explained the oil baron.
"It is our desire to allow Adriano to stay there until June but we do have to try to figure out which is the best solution."
