Inter striker Hernan Crespo is determined to stay on at
the club and accept a lack of first-team football as well as no
Champions League place rather than move elsewhere.
Crespo was set to leave the Nerazzurri during the January transfer
window with a number of clubs, including Bologna and Roma,
interested in him.
The Argentinian is unhappy at San Siro, yet he wants to remain. His
decision has baffled many as he is likely to sit on the bench for
the remainder of the season.
"I am not the one who makes the decisions," Crespo is quoted as
saying in Tuttosport, after being left out of the
Champions League list.
"It's doesn't really matter, they are not my choices and there is
nothing I can do about it.
"I don't really see any reasons as to why I should leave in
January."
Mourinho had asked the club to get rid of deadwood players, and
Crespo fell into that category as far as the coach was
concerned.
Genoa, Sampdoria and Bologna as well as the Giallorossi all tried
to rumble for the hitman, but he declined moves according to
reports, preferring to stay at Appiano Gentile instead.
Crespo is likely to decide his future at the end of the season.
