Deco weighs up Chelsea but ex-factor makes Mourinho's Inter the favourites

13 April 2012

Deco will decide after Euro 2008 whether to join Chelsea or Inter Milan.


Chelsea see the Barcelona midfielder as key to changing to a more attacking style of play but Inter are favourites to sign him now that Jose Mourinho - his former coach at Porto - is their new boss.

Relaxed: Deco is not making any decisions on his future yet

The Portugal international said: "I haven't yet sealed a deal with either of them. I haven't decided on my future as I must meet with my agent and see what's best.

"But my goal is to win tthings. I won't go to a club that I don't like or who won't let me win trophies. Mourinho? Undoubtedly my relationship with him is excellent and that could be a key point."
