Figo's first choice is Inter

3 January 2008 | 08:19 - PA Sport

Luis Figo's agent insists the veteran midfielder wants to remain at Inter Milan - but would consider a move to the United States if the Italian champions do not want to extend his deal.

 

The 35-year-old has been linked in the Portuguese media with a move to Major League Soccer, but Miguel Macedo claims his player is happy at the San Siro.

Macedo told PA Sport: "It doesn't make any sense, all these reports that he's moving to the United States. It's just speculation."

Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha claimed earlier this week that Figo had agreed a two-year deal with AEG - the parent company to Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles Galaxy.

But Macedo added: "At the moment there is nothing with the Los Angeles Galaxy."

"He has got a contract with Inter. He expects to extend it. If the club does not extend it, yes, he will consider - as he has said publicly - going to the United States."
