Argentine defender Walter Samuel will be a free agent in the summer but is still negotiating with Inter an extension to his current deal.

“The Wall” received offers from Valencia, Tottenham and Villarreal but is determined to continue his career in San Siro.

The former Roma and Real Madrid player lowered his demands but would still fancy a contract running up to June 2014.

The Nerazzurri are only ready to offer him a 12-month deal but it seems clear that they will agree terms before the end of the season.

Samuel has proved to be a consistent and reliable centre-back, who has still a lot to give despite turn 34 this month.
