Milan: Inter attacker Wesley Sneijder has assured everyone at the Italian club that he will remain in Milan for the 2011-12 campaign.
The Netherlands international's future at San Siro has recently been the subject of speculation, with reports suggesting that English champions Manchester United are keen to land him this summer.
However, on Wednesday Sneijder's agent Soren Lerby played down those rumours, explaining that his client is often linked with major European clubs without any foundation, and the Dutchman himself has now dispelled reports of a summer departure.
"Next season? I'll be here," the 26-year-old told the Corriere dello Sport.
Sneijder has struggled with injuries this campaign as Inter lost their grasp on their Champions League and Serie A titles. But the former Ajax playmaker is keen to end 2010-11 with a flourish as Leonardo's side take on Palermo in the Coppa Italia final on Sunday.
"I've been training with the squad without any problems," he said. "I'll certainly be there against Palermo. I want to play and win the Coppa Italia so that we can end the season in a good manner."
Sneijder moved to Inter from Real Madrid in the summer of 2009 and inspired the Milanese club to a historic treble of Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League last season. He scored four goals and provided six assists in 25 league appearances as Inter finished second in the table this time around.
