Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic has revealed he wants to stay at the club.

The 30-year-old Slovenian’s current deal expires in June 2016 and there had been suggestions he was looking to leave the Nerazzurri for Champions League football, though he is now close to extending his Stadio Meazza stay.

“When there are no contracts to fight for, everyone does their part,” he told Inter Channel.

“I would like to say that I am close an agreement to stay here [at Inter] and I am happy about that.

“We have to forget about last season and start again. This could be the right year to take the club to where it deserves to be.

“The fact we aren’t playing in a [European] cup isn’t so bad, it could be an advantage for us and could be a turning point.”
