Inter president Massimo Moratti has reacted to rumours suggesting Zlatan Ibrahimovic wanted to leave the San Siro as he clarifies his club's stance over the growing concerns.

The striker was rumoured he wanted to leave the club following the Champions League exit against Manchester United, with Barcelona being the club of his choice. Despite the confusion off the pitch, 'Ibra' has still be proving his worth on it in Serie A.

After deflecting questions over the Sweden striker following the 3-0 win against Reggina on Sunday, Moratti has spoken to explain why there has been an air of tension spreading thoughout the club.

"I don't think it's a question of money," Moratti told Il Corriere Dello Sport.

"I think Ibrahimovic was upset because of my opinions after the Manchester United match, but I was referring to everyone. Obviously he reacted in the way I did after the KO.

"He has a great relationship with this club and its coach. Perhaps he wants to win the Champions League with another club, but it's difficult to pick a club capable of doing so.

"However, Inter will try again next year."

Voices have also grown louder regarding Jose Mourinho's future at the club, and the chief was quick to give short and sharp answers.

"Mourinho? He has a contract and will remain here for some years," concluded the chief.
