Sevilla defender Julien Escude admits he's flattered by interest arriving from Inter Milan.

The Frenchman has been watched by Inter director Marco Branca in recent weeks and says: "I have a contract with Sevilla until 2011 and I love this club.

"But when Inter, which is one of the best clubs in the world with one of the best of the best coaches, is interested in you, it means you're doing something right.

"I have always tried to respect my contract, but in football you never know what can happen."
