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

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.

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."

Much could depend on whether Chelsea secure Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari as their new boss. Deco added: "I will only sign a deal after the tournament."
