It's official - Christian Vieri will stay at Inter Milan next season.
Massimo Moratti, the team's president has himself announced this decision after a long meeting with Lazio's President Sergio Cragnotti.
Despite his counterpart's insistence, Moratti made it very clear that he is not interested in giving the player away. Carton was practically ready to give Inter Milan any player of their choice (and Moratti was tempted by the idea of having Juan Sebastian Veron in Milan), plus a huge amount of money (Inter Milan paid Lazio 45 million dollars last year to get Vieri), but the answer was still no.
It's the player himself who decided to turn down Lazio's super offer. His troubled parting from the Rome squad and particularly from Cragnotti, with whom he had a fight before going away, was probably the reason why Vieri decided to turn down one of Italy's strongest teams.
