Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc has voiced his hopes that Thiago Motta will stay with the club, despite the Italian being open to a move.

Motta's potential suitors are said to be two former clubs, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, and he seems to be particularly interested in the latter.
"Returning to Inter would be a real challenge, as (Roberto) Mancini has shown with his choice to join the club again at a delicate moment," Motta told Gazzetta dello Sport, according to the Guardian. "It would be stimulating but also natural to rediscover a place where I won everything."
Blanc has talked of the club's efforts to keep hold of its midfielder.
"As of today, he's our player. I hope he still is on Sept. 1. It is a delicate situation, but the club is working on it. Of course I am hoping that Thiago will continue to be a Parisienne this season."
Motta came on as a halftime substitute in PSG's opening 1-0 win away at Lille last week, and has a home tie against GFC Ajaccio on Sunday.
