Serie A giants AS Roma’s defender Philippe Mexes has dismissed rumours linking him with a move away from the Eternal City this summer.
The France international has been a reported target of Chelsea and AC Milan but insists his future lies in the Italian capital.
“I will remain at Roma,” he said.
“It always gives me pleasure when a team is interested in me but I am happy at Roma.”
Mexes is under contract with the Giallorossi for a further two seasons and is looking forward to the new campaign.
The 27-year-old made 29 league starts as Roma finished a disappointing sixth in Serie A last term.
“Last season was the worst one in my five years at Roma,” he said.
“I wouldn’t want to leave the club like this, I want to prove my worth.”
