RIO DE JANEIRO, June 27 (Xinhua) -- Corinthians star defender Roberto Carlos has turned down an offer from Italian giants Roma.

"They contacted me, but I didn't want anything to do with them. I don't want to go anywhere else," Carlos said on Sunday.

The former Brazilian international said that he is happy back in Brazil and feels at home with Ronaldo and the rest of the Corinthians team.

Carlos' contract with Corinthians runs until the end of the 2011 season.
