Lionel Messi to Inter? Former president Massimo Moratti denied the Barcelona star will be moving to Milan.
Messi's future at Barcelona appears far from certain with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner set to come out of contract at the end of next season and no renewal forthcoming.
Inter continue to be linked with the 29-year-old and former striker Diego Milito talked up a move but Moratti insisted the Argentina international is not on his way to Serie A after meeting with the club's owners.
"I've never heard any talk of Messi," Moratti told ANSA.
"It may be that they're organising a big signing for the future, but they've never talked about the Argentine."
Under Piolo, Inter have won seven successive games in all competitions to sit sixth in Serie A, only a point behind AC Milan.
Moratti added: "Pioli is a great coach and the results prove that. Inter are going through a good period and it bodes well.
"The Champions League? We have to take things game-by-game and then we'll see where we end up."
