Inzaghi denies Chelsea interest

Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi has rejected speculation suggesting he could be ready for a summer switch to Chelsea by declaring he would like to end his career with the Serie A champions.

The prolific hit-man has seen talk of a move to The Premiership intensify, after Chelsea supremo Roman Abramovich met with Milan general manager Adriano Galliani last week.

However, the player is adamant that his stay with the Rossoneri is not about to be broken.

''I'd like to end my career with this jersey,'' Inzaghi told Corriere dello Sport.

''Chelsea? - I feel really good here, so I've never thought to leave.

''The club hold me high in their estimations, otherwise they wouldn't have renewed my contract until 2008.''

Inzaghi has suffered major disappointment of late, having failed to earn a call-up to Giovanni Trapattoni's Italy squad for the European Championship due to the coach's concerns over his fitness.

The player's exclusion from the Azzurri squad was deemed a major surprise in the Italian press but Inzaghi prefers to focus on the future.

''I prefer not talking about Trapattoni and the disappointment I felt when I knew I wasn't in the Azzurri group,'' continued Inzaghi.

''I prefer to look forward - my aim is to have good fitness for the Italian Super Cup final.''
