Adriano's nickname is the "Emperor", but he's now a sad Emperor at Roma. He couldn't find much space with Borriello first liner, therefore he's negotiating a return to Brazil. This is confirmed to Corinthians sporting director, Roberto de Andrade, who told Radio Globo: "We spoke with the player, but the discussion is still open. The negotiation is not easy, it depends on many factors, but it would be a great deal".

In the last few day, another former Inter star, Ronaldo, recommended Adriano to join him at Corinthians to win the Copa Libertadores.
