RIO DE JANEIRO - Internazionale striker Adriano has announced his desire to leave the Italian champions when the transfer window opens in January.
The Brazil ace, who has made just 17 Serie A appearances in the last two seasons, has been on the receiving end of public allegations from coach Roberto Mancini over his work ethic and professionalism.
Now, with a place in the Inter side not looking likely in the near future, the 25-year-old is keen to start afresh elsewhere.
He told Globo: "I had some chances to play at the beginning of the season, but he (coach Roberto Mancini) took me out of the team without giving any explanation.
"I have recovered from all my problems and also scored in training, but Mancini doesn't believe in me any more. That leaves me with no other choice.
"Now, I am waiting for the club's decision to know what will happen with me. I want to play."
Adriano insisted his active social life, which has previously landed him in trouble with both Mancini and national coach Dunga, was over.
He added: "I regret everything I did. I never want to go through that again in my life. I prefer not to remember it.
"I had to turn my back on some friends and call my mother, who is living in Italy now, to overcome these problems.
"My main objective is to play so I will have more opportunities to wear the Brazil shirt again."
