Porto wing-back Fredy Guarin wants to sign permanently with Inter Milan.

Guarin has also been linked with Real Madrid as he plays on-loan with Inter.

"The fact that the club chose me during a delicate time of the season motivates me and I hope to pay them back for their faith in me.

"I've wanted to join Inter for two years. I had spoken to Ivan Cordoba about it…"
