Inter coach Claudio Ranieri has stressed that playmaker Wesley Sneijder is happy with life in the Nerazzurri.
The Netherlands international has recently been linked with Zenit St Petersburg and Anzhi Makhachkala, but Ranieri is confident that Sneijder will stay at the Giuseppe Meazza.
"Could he be on his way to Anzhi? As far as I'm concerned, and I hope the player too, no," Ranieri was quoted as saying on the Inter website.
"I asked him [Saturday]: 'Do you feel you are important for this team? Because you are important for us,' and he replied 'Yes, I'm happy here.'
"He's a champion, he just has to find his rhythm again and we have to work out again how to keep him supplied with the ball, just as he has to work out how to feed our strikers."
Sneijder featured for the full 90 minutes in Sunday's Serie A match at home against Novara, but couldn't help Inter to a result as they were beaten 1-0.
