Andrea Ranocchia staying at Inter Milan

Inter Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia has dismissed reports that he will be leaving the club in the transfer window.

The Italian was linked with a switch to Manchester United earlier this summer, but Ranocchia has said that stories claiming he is ready to leave the Nerazurri are baseless speculation.

"The market I just business as usual, there are always so many rumours," Ranocchia told Sky Sport Italia.

"But I am here. I'll continue to sweat for the shirt. Walter Mazzarri cares about every aspect of the game. We are more compact as a defence now.

"We seem to be working as a team and therefore suffer much less."

Inter defeated Genoa 2-0 on Sunday.
