Inter owner Massimo Moratti has denied claims that he will sign Antonio Cassano from Roma.
Speculation suggests that Cassano is the "gift" that Moratti has promised the Nerazzurri fans this summer.
But the millionaire patron insists that the Italian international is not a transfer target for his club at all.
"It is a transfer which will never happen," Moratti told the Gr Parlamento radio station on Monday.
"He is an entertaining player but I don’t think he would add anything to a department which is already rich in quality. He would offer more problems than solutions."
Cassano, whose contract expires in 2006, is expected to leave Roma with Inter and Juventus allegedly keen.
The latter will net the player according to many in the game, including respected football agent Claudio Pasqualin.
"Based on my experience, I’m convinced that it would be extremely difficult for him to extend his contract in Rome," he said. "He’ll probably join Juventus."
Meanwhile, Moratti has quashed speculation that star striker Adriano, valued at £65m, will be sold to Real Madrid or Chelsea.
"After his exploits in the Coppa Italia Final last night, it would be hard to let go of a player with that potential," he concluded.
The Brazilian scored a brace during the 2-0 first leg win at Roma.
