Inter Milan are confident Jose Mourinho does not want to leave the club to take over as Real Madrid coach.
Reports in Spain claim that Real presidential candidate Florentino Perez has turned to Mourinho as his top target to become the club's new boss.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reportedly rejected an offer from Perez, with current incumbent Juande Ramos not expected to stay on beyond the end of the season.
Wenger's knock-back has seen Mourinho emerge as the No.1 contender for the helm, but Inter president Massimo Moratti is not troubled by the rumours.
Mourinho has won the Serie A title in his first season at the club and Moratti has been assured that the former Chelsea chief will not walk out to join Real.
Honours his word"Yes, we were immediately alerted to the reports that came from Spain," said Moratti.
"But our coach has assured us that he doesn't want to leave Inter.
"I believe in my coach's words.
"In the past he has shown seriousness and has proved that he always honours his word."
