"I met Frank Lampard on Monday and I spoke to him," said Scolari. "I like him too much as a player and as a person.
"I asked him if he wanted to stay at Chelsea, not only for this season but for more time. He told me after 15 minutes that he wants to stay and he wants to play for Chelsea for many years.
"I am very happy because I think Chelsea needs Lampard and he likes Chelsea. Now it's a minimum of questions to solve it. I think Lampard is with us for more time than one year."
Lampard has reportedly denied he said such things and now looks certain to push for a move to Inter Milan, who have already failed with one approach for the player.
