Nemanja Vidic is still aiming to prove his worth at Inter Milan despite reported interest from Spartak Moscow, his agent has said.
Vidic joined Inter on a free transfer after leaving Manchester United in the summer, yet he has only featured in nine games this season, and since Roberto Mancini took charge in mid-November, he has spent all of his time on the bench.
According to Russian newspaper Izvestia, Spartak are keen on re-signing the defender on a loan deal until the end of the season, when they may then attempt to make the move permanent for a fee of four million euros.
Vidic spent two seasons on Spartak's books before moving to United in 2006 and the Russian club -- who are lying sixth in the Russian Premier League going into the winter break, just five points behind second-placed CSKA Moscow -- have turned their attentions to the 33-year-old after a move for Alexander Dragovic of Dynamo Kiev broke down.
Vidic has also been linked with a return to United to resolve a shortage of defenders, while Inter's Serie A rivals Juventus have also been named as potential suitors for a player who has yet to show his best form in Italy.
However, the player's agent, Silvano Martino, told Izvestia: "Nemanja is only thinking about Inter. I am sure that he can prove himself to the new coach and regain his place in the staring lineup.
"I don't know anything about Spartak. Every week Nemanja is rumoured to be joining his former clubs, and I am tired of commenting on that."
