Adriano will not join Roma

The former Inter striker has been linked with a return to the Serie A, but Rinaldi insists his client will not move ahead of the World Cup finals in South Africa next year.

“I have never heard from Roma directors. In any case there’s no point talking with them because Adriano is not interested,” Rinaldi told Forzaromainfo.it.

“He wants to stay in Brazil and play with Flamengo until the World Cup. He is doing well here and he has [Carlos] Dunga’s guarantee as he follows him regularly.

“We will see what happens after the World Cup.”
