Inter midfielder Joao Mario spoke on his limited use at Inter this season and the current transfer rumours concerning him from the Portuguese national team retreat.

“There are no arguments on my part against the facts, of course I would like to play more just like the many others who are also in my situation.”

The 24-year-old midfielder’s confidence certainly has not been knocked by his limited use adding, “I think things can change and that is what I am focused most on. I know that I will play more, one way or the other. I want to prove to the coach I’m doing well while with the national team and will do my best to be in the squad for the World Cup.”

The former Sporting Lisbon midfielder, who joined Inter back in 2016 following a fine showing at Euro 2016, then discussed the rumours about a possible transfer away from the Nerazzurri.

“The rumours are normal, they’re part of football but I’m always focused, I’m not distracted because I’m used to them. I will see what will happen and then I will make a choice on what’s best for my career,” he concluded.
