Figo to stay at Inter for one more season
Figo has decided to stay with Inter for another season, the Italian
Serie A champions have confirmed.
Portuguese star Luis Figo has decided to stay with Inter Milan for
another season, the Italian Serie A champions confirmed on
Monday.
A statement on Inter's website said the 34-year-old forward will
soon sign a one-year contract extension that will keep him at the
club unti June 2008.
Inter said the former Portugal international, European Footballer
of the Year in 2000 and World Footballer of the Year in 2001, will
then take up a position at the club as their international
relations manager.
Figo, who joined Inter in 2005 after five years in Spain with Real
Madrid, was close to moving to Saudi club Al Ittihad during the
January transfer window but the switch fell through.
Figo, who retired from international football after Portugal were
beaten by France in the semi-finals of last year's World Cup in
Germany, has scored eight goals in 92 matches for Inter.
