Hernan Crespo has said he
does not want to return to Chelsea at the end of the
season.
The Argentine striker agreed a two-year loan deal at Internazionale
last summer, but Chelsea have the option to recall him after one
year.
Jose Mourinho recently admitted that he was keen to bring Crespo
back to Stamford Bridge, but the player is confident the
Premiership club will respect his wish to stay in Italy.
Chelsea have until the end of the month to decide but Crespo
believes they are too absorbed in their Premiership campaign to
think about him, and hopes that remains the case.
"Chelsea have until 31st May for asking me to return. Just with
sending a fax," he told the South American media.
"If they don't do that my loan at Inter gets renewed
automatically.
"But if they want me to return we will have to have a conversation
about that. That's why the less it is spoken about the better for
me.
"At this moment Chelsea are totally concentrating on the next games
of the Premiership so I don't think that they will be thinking of
me but if they are they know what my opinion is."
Crespo is grateful to Mourinho and Roman Abramovich for letting him
go to Inter and is desperate to stay where he is happiest.
He explained: "If I came to Inter it was because Jose Mourinho and
the president did a personal favour for me. I asked for this the
day that Abramovich desired to renew my contract.
"He didn't want to let me go but in the end he understood what I
was asking for.
"I know that they want me to return but I want to stay at Inter
because of personal reasons.
"It's not true that I don't like England or Chelsea, it's because I
have a personal decision of living in Italy because all my family
is here."
