Luis Jimenez has revealed he had offers to leave Inter Milan in January.

"I asked to leave in the winter - I had several offers and big clubs came forward," Jimenez lamented in La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"However, Inter said that they needed me and a transfer was out of the question. I was amazed and the situation has deteriorated still further since then.

"I can't come to terms with what is happening and I can't see a good reason for it.

"I feel good and I even discussed things with Jose Mourinho recently and that left me optimistic, but I obviously misunderstood what he was saying.

"I thought I would be brought back into the team, but I wasn't even in the Coppa Italia squad.

"Sometimes I feel like a ghost in training and I don't want to spend another season like this."
