Thiago Motta has brushed aside media reports linking him with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain in the January transfer window.

Motta, 32, has been regularly linked with a return to Serie A, with both Juventus and his former club Inter Milan reportedly keen to acquire his services.

The midfielder's agent Alessandro Canovi said last week that the Italy international will have no trouble leaving PSG in January if the Ligue 1 champions decide to let him go.

However, Motta says he is happy in Paris and has no intention of leaving the French title holders any time soon.

Motta told the Italian media: "I'm in Paris and from the first day I arrived here my only focus has been on PSG.

"I have had the opportunity to speak to the club executives and I can say that I will remain at this club."

Motta moved to PSG from Inter in 2012 and has made 14 league starts for PSG this season.

The former Barca player is under contract with the club until June 2016.
