Brazilian defender Lucio has put an end to the speculation linking him with a move away from Inter by extending his deal at Giuseppe Meazza.
The Brazil international was linked with a number of top European clubs this summer as he had one year left on his deal.
The speculations mounted as the player looked unable to reach an agreement with club chiefs over the new deal, but it appears that the two parties have eventually agreed on a new contract.
The club have revealed that Lucio has signed a two-year extension until June 2014, thus putting an end to the speculations.
The 33-year-old was initially offered a one-year extension, but his agent managed to persuade Inter chiefs into offering his client a contract until June 2014.
Lucio has been an integral part of Inter squad ever since he arrived at Giuseppe Meazza from Bayern in 2009 and managed to win six major trophies at the club.
