Argentina forward Hernan Crespo expects to see his move to Inter Milan made permanent at the end of the season. The 31-year-old joined Inter from Chelsea in August 2006 on a two-year loan deal, with the Blues having the option of recalling him this summer.
"Inter president Massimo Moratti has told me that he will do everything he can," said Crespo.
"I am optimistic because I have seen Inter executives very determined and this makes me very happy."
The Argentina international has scored 10 goals in 25 league appearances to help Inter retain their Serie A title.
He joined Chelsea from Inter in 2003 but made only 33 league starts in three years.
