Adriano Not Certain Of Contract Renewal With Inter

Adriano may have been able to contribute some solid performances and goals for Inter, but the striker admitted he does not know if he will remain with the club past next season.

"My contract with Inter expires in 2010 and I will calmly reflect on whether to renew or not," the Brazilian international explained to Globoesporte.

"I have a good relationship with [Inter coach Jose] Mourinho - I was deployed as a starter in lots of important matches, in the Milan derby and against Manchester United in the Champions League."

Earlier this season the 27-year-old credited the former Chelsea tactician with "saving" his career and further alluded to their respect for one another.

"I am happy because the coach always talks [about his decisions] with me," he concluded.

Adriano has had an inconsistent season, scoring seven times in 22 appearances. Recently, he has fallen behind starlet Mario Balotelli in the pecking order at San Siro.
