Patrick Vieira - Milan-Inter - Serie A (Grazia Neri)

Despite previously declaring his commitment to Inter, Patrick Vieira has revealed that his Serie A stay depends on whether he gets sufficient playing time next season.

"What I intend to do is play, at Inter or elsewhere," he clarified to L'Equipe.

"I need to discuss certain things with the coach to find out if I am part of his plans or not. Otherwise, anything is possible, but I'd prefer to play in a French club fighting for the title, rather than a mid-table club in another league."

Nonetheless, Vieira is looking forward to playing again for France after being recalled for friendlies against Nigeria and Turkey by coach Raymond Domenech.

"Now, I have a week to devote to my national team, with regards to the rest we will have to see later," he concluded.
