Inter Milan are considering allowing Adriano to remain in Brazil on-loan at Sao Paulo.
O Globo says Adriano has confided to friends he wants to remain with Sao Paulo for the rest of the season and Inter could be willing to accommodate - if the Brazilian club grant them first refusal on 22 year-old midfielder Hernanes.
"As a Christmas present," said Adriano, "I just want to be happy."
