Vasco da Gama starlet Philippe Coutinho is reluctant to join Inter Milan in the summer.

Inter want to bring their long-term signing to Italy for next season, but the midfielder would prefer to continue his development in Brazil.

Coutinho signed for Inter in 2008 and can move to the San Siro in the summer when he turns 18. Inter chief Marco Branca will be flying to Brazil this week to meet with Coutinho and his family to discuss their options.
