MANCHESTER United and Chelsea target Jeison Murillo wants to remain at Inter Milan.
The Colombian defender, 23, insists he is keen to stay in Italy, despite initially finding it tough to adapt to the physicality of Serie A after signing from Spanish outfit Granada in the summer.
He told Rai Sport: "I want to stay at Inter.
"I am an Inter player and am not thinking about the future right now.
Coming to Serie A has really helped me improve, although it was difficult at first to adapt to a very tactical and physical league."
Murillo - who has made more than 30 appearances at the heart of Inter's defence this season - has been the subject of speculation about a move to United in recent weeks should Jose Mourinho be appointed the club's new manager.
It was recently reported Murillo could be available for as little as £14 million, despite initial reports he would command a fee in the region of £28 million.
But incoming Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti is also thought to be keen on the Inter man, as is incoming Chelsea manager Antonio Conte.
As well as Murillo, Italy coach Conte is thought to be interested in signing another Inter star - Stevan Jovetic.
The Manchester City flop is currently on loan at the Italian outfit and according to The Daily Star, Conte is a big fan of the forward.
