The striker has again been linked with a summer exit recently after scoring 14 Serie A goals for the Nerazzurri this season.

“Every year they say that I’m leaving, it’s always the same story,” he said to Corriere della Sera.

“The club has done great work by bringing in top players. At the start we were winning 1-0 but we were up there, then in January we had a decline but the team is growing.

“So where do you want me to go? I’m happy to be here, to be the captain, the striker and to score.

“Of course I want to win, but I want to do it like many before me have.

“I hope next year the team will be more competitive. Inter’s objective can never be partial, only the greatest: to win the Scudetto and get back into the Champions League. I want to win here, as soon as possible.

“Differences between [Roberto] Mancini and [Walter] Mazzarri? Mancio never screams. He’s a Coach but he sees daily life with the eyes of a player – he’s never forgotten what it was like.

“Mazzarri had more of a classic Coach’s attitude and got angry more often.”
