The agent of Roma wing-back Cicinho insists he has had no contact from Chelsea and that his client is happy to remain.

Reports in the British press have linked the Blues with a US$7.5 million bid for the Brazil international, which would also see Florent Malouda head in the opposite direction.

The 28-year-old, however, has already expressed his desire to remain with the Giallorossi, and today his agent Ricardo Sarti echoed his client's sentiments.

"Here in Brazil I told the press that he is fine and wants to stay in Rome," he told Corriere dello Sport.

"Of the Chelsea interest, I've only read about it in the newspaper. I spoke with Cicinho and he is calm.

"In Brazil they're even talking about interest from Santos and Internacional but there's nothing, he just wants to play for Roma."

Cicinho has made only eight league appearances for Roma this season.

He joined the Serie A side on a five-year deal in the summer of 2007 in an US$15 million transfer from Real Madrid.
