After nine months of action we’re down to the last round of Premier League matches this Sunday.

Inter’s Brazil international Maicon has dismissed reports claiming he will leave the club this summer.

The full-back has been linked with a move to England or Spain, with Chelsea reported to be leading the race for his signature.

Maicon, though, insists there is nothing to the reports and he remains fully committed to the Italian champions.

“I’m ready to restart with Inter over the summer,” he told Corriere dello Sport, having seen his 2008/09 campaign hampered by injury.

“There is a 100 per cent chance that I will stay here.

“Many players are attracted by the Premier League and La Liga, but I like Serie A.

“I am happy here because this club has allowed me to prove my worth domestically and in Europe.

“It is thanks to Inter that I have regained my place in the national side.”

Maicon is under contract with Inter until 2013 and the club have given no indication that they would be willing to sell.
