Inter target Lucas Leiva has revealed that the 'best place' for him is Liverpool, despite a lack of playing opportunities.
Reports had suggested that the midfielder was close to signing for the Nerazzurri, but the deal has since stalled.
The Brazilian's contract will expire this summer, but after 10 years on Merseyside he seems reluctant to leave.
"The situation is not great," the 30-year-old told FourFourTwo.

The Brazilian's contract will expire this summer, but after 10 years on Merseyside he seems reluctant to leave.
"The situation is not great," the 30-year-old told FourFourTwo.
"It is not something I want for my future – to not have many games – but at this moment I have to deal with this and try to find a solution when I have the chance.
"I have to be professional, think about the team and see what is going to happen.
"I don't want this for my career, especially at my age. I'm not close to retiring and have many years ahead of me.
"Of course there are always rumours but today the best place for me to be is Liverpool. I cannot say about tomorrow.
"The manager [Jurgen Klopp] has been very good to me and we have a very open relationship so it is nothing I am worried about.
"It has been a special season already and we have a chance to win trophies and that is something I consider as well."
