Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar has insisted he will stay at the club until 2014, despite revealing Roma were keen on signing him.

Reports suggested Inter were looking to offload the 31-year-old Brazil international to accommodate the arrival of Emiliano Viviano who is on a co-ownership deal with Bologna.

However, Cesar has every intention of remaining at San Siro, and said any link with an exit from here on would be based on speculation.

“It’s true that Roma were interested in me. They sent out some feelers, but I decided to stay at Inter until my contract expires in 2014,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I want my name off the transfer market pages. No links with Roma, no Manchester United, nothing. There is no story.”

And, with AC Milan scooping the Scudetto this year, Cesar wants to hang around so he can help Inter take the title back following years of dominance.

“I have no intention of leaving the Nerazzurri, because in August I want to beat Milan in the Italian Super Cup and then take back the Scudetto,” he added.

“Before 2014, I want to lift the Champions League again. The truth is I have the enthusiasm of a child and am determined to start for Brazil in the World Cup we host in 2014. To achieve that, I need to keep winning for Inter, so I’m hunting for another treble.”
