Agent deals Arsenal and Liverpool another blow in pursuit of Barcelona star

Martin Montoya is yet to make his competitive debut for Inter Milan

BARCELONA'S Martin Montoya will not cut his loan deal short at Inter Milan, according to his agent.

 

The Spaniard joined Inter in the summer on a two-year loan deal, but is yet to make his competitive debut for the Serie A club.

The 24-year-old's lack of game time has led to speculation that he'll return to parent club Barca in January in an effort to find first-team football elsewhere.

 

Arsenal and Liverpool, who both wanted Montoya in the off season, were reportedly keen to renew their interest in the winter window.

But his agent, Juan De Dios Carrasco, told FCInterNews: “I’ve read and heard about this alleged possibility, but there’s absolutely no truth in it.

 

Martin Montoya has been linked with a January return to Barcelona

“They’re all lies, a real fairytale. Martin is definitely staying at Inter, he’s happy in Milan and his family is fine. He’s been charmed by the city.

“He’s very calm, and he’s happy to wear the Nerazzurri shirt. He’ll wait to prove himself when Mancini gives him an opportunity on the pitch.”
