Frank Lampard's agent has denied the Chelsea midfielder has agreed to join Inter Milan after the Champions League final.

As the Blues arrive in Russia for the Champions League final showdown with Manchester United, reports in Italy claim the England international, 29, is ready to quit Stamford Bridge this summer rather than extend his contract, which expires in 2009.

But agent Steve Kutner insisted there was no truth in the rumours, saying: "I don't know why Inter Milan would think this. Nobody has talked to me and I am good friends with the owner, Massimo Moratti.

"I took Paul Ince there, I took Patrick Vieira there - if there was something on, I am sure I would know.

"The situation is that Frank has got a massive match on Wednesday, after which he needs to spend time with his family, because he has not had a real opportunity to do that since his mother died."

Lampard has been in contract negotiations with Chelsea for almost the whole season without the parties reaching agreement.
