ROME: Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan wants to stay at Inter Milan and prove he belongs at the San Siro despite a frustrating first season. "I want to stay at Milan,” the 32-year-old, who has also played for Manchester United and Villareal in Spain, told Sky Sports. “You haven't seen the real Forlan yet. I wouldn't want to leave like this. I like challenges and I wouldn't want to leave when the team are not in a good position." Milan are currently six points off third place in Serie A, the final qualifying spot for the Champions League, after a disappointing campaign in which Forlan has struggled. The player of the tournament at the 2010 World Cup, where Uruguay surprised everyone and reached the semi-finals, Forlan missed four months through injury and has often been jeered by the Milan fans when he has played.
