Inter will keep Mauro Zarate until the end of the season - agent

The on-loan Lazio forward has been linked with a return to Rome during the January transfer window, but the player's representative feels his client will remain at San Siro



The Lazio-owned forward is only half way through his loan deal with the Nerazzurri but there has been mounting speculation that the player will be allowed to return to the Stadio Olimpico during the current transfer window.



However, the 24-year-old's representative, Giuseppe Bozzo, insists that Inter are keen to retain the services of his client for at least another five months.



"The assessments of the Inter directors are different from those that have been heard doing the rounds," he told SportItalia.



"Inter do not want to deprive themselves of the player and it is very likely that the coach [Claudio] Ranieri will not let the player go until the end of the season."



Inter reportedly paid €2.7 million for the right to take Zarate on loan with a view to making the deal permanent at the end of the current campaign.
