Fiorentina defender Richards drops big hint of Serie A stay

Manchester City defender Micah Richards has hinted he will be staying in Italy next season.

Richards is currently on-loan with Fiorentina and comes off contract at City in June.

"I think my time at City is concluded, unless (Inter Milan coach Roberto) Mancini returns as coach of the Citizens and takes me back with him.

"I am very proud to have made this decision. It was not easy. Many players are in Italy at the end of his career, but I'm 26 years old, in the prime of my career.

"I grew up watching AC Milan, Juventus and Inter and now with Fiorentina I am improving and fighting to reach the Champions League."
