French international midfielder Patrick Vieira has admitted that he will leave Italian champions Inter if he continues to be on the fringe of the starting 11.The former Arsenal skipper was linked with a move back to the Gunners, Tottenham and Ligue 1 side PSG during the summer.
However the 33 year-old decided to stay with Italian giants and fight for his place in the first team. Unfortunately for the Frenchman he has only made three starts in all competitions and has been frustrated by the lack of regular playing time.
He needs to be playing regularly for his club or he could miss out on France’s squad for next year’s World Cup in South Africa. He was left out of a recent France squad due to him experiencing a lack of time on the pitch. It doesn’t appear he will get the chance for regular playing time at the San Siro and a move in January would help his cause.
“If nothing changes then yes (I will leave),” he told L’Equipe.
“I need rhythm, a run of matches at a high level. I don’t want to make any conclusions before December.
“If my situation hasn’t changed from now until then, I will take the necessary decisions. If I don’t play a lot more it could be problematic.”
