The agent of Inter Milan striker Adriano has ruled out the player continuing his career in Brazil.

Santos, Sao Paolo and Flamengo were all said to be interested in taking him on loan from January, but the representative moved to silence those rumours.

"There is not even the slightest chance that Adriano could play for Sao Paolo or return to Flamengo," stated Rinaldi in O Globo newspaper.

"Adriano has to be back in Milan for January 1, 2008. Now he is in Rio with his family and we are already planning his recovery schedule."
