Barcelona playmaker Lionel Messi has dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Internazionale.
The 19-year-old, who scored a superb hat-trick during the clash with bitter rivals Real Madrid last weekend, has been linked with a switch to the San Siro after Inter allegedly made Messi their number one target.
However, Messi has played down the rumours and insists he has no desire to leave the Nou Camp.
"I am happy in Barcelona and I am not thinking about moving from here," he said.
"I came here as a 13-year-old and Barca have given my family and I everything we needed.
"Of course it's flattering that a club as big as Inter are interested in me. But I am very happy here."
The Argentinian has also laughed off suggestions team-mate Ronaldinho will join AC Milan over the summer.
"Ronnie is with us and I do not believe that he is interested in moving. He has said many times that is very happy here and that he wants to continue here for many years," he added.
