Antonio Cassano insists he wants to stay with Inter Milan.

The striker has been linked with a move to the Middle East.

"A move to the United Arab Emirates? What? I want to still play for Inter," Cassano told Chi.

"They've chosen a new Coach in Walter Mazzarri, a man who I have known since we were at Sampdoria and who I respect.

"I still hope that I can be called up by Cesare Prandelli in the national side too, as I hope to be a part of Inter's plans.

"They are a great club and have a great team."
