Inter central defender Diego Godin has come out and downplayed rumours linking him with a potential exit from Inter in the coming months.
For a few months now reports in the media have suggested that the Uruguayan national team player could leave the Nerazzurri, having struggled to adapt to Inter manager Antonio Conte’s tactics.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have both been linked with him as have Lyon whilst other reports have stated there is interest from clubs in the United States and China too.
“The truth is that the news about my future being away from Milan surprise me a lot. Since I have been at Inter, I have always felt good both at the club and with the fans,” he explained in an interview with Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport and Spanish news outlet AS.
“I feel the trust of the club and here I am at home. It has never occurred to me to leave Inter. I feel totally part of the project and the dressing room is spectacular.
“My intention is to respect the contract and enjoy this wonderful adventure in Italy and with the Nerazzurri shirt. Coming here was my choice and I did it with the intention of helping this club to win new titles, to win as much as possible.
“I understand that the management is happy with me too and this fills me with pride. It is not true that I want to leave.
“I have never spoken to anyone about this hypothesis, because I will stay here and do everything necessary to help the team. If the management are happy with my performance, my experience at Inter will continue.”
Godin arrived at Inter on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid this past Summer and signed a three year contract with Inter.
This season the 33-year-old has made 25 appearances across all competitions to date. During his time on the park, which totals just over 1900 minutes, the former Villarreal player has provided a single assist for his Nerazzurri teammates.
