Chelsea midfielder Deco is eyeing a return to his native Brazil after this summer's World Cup.

The 32-year old, who represents Portugal after gaining citizenship in 2002, was born in Brazil and hopes he can finish his playing career in his homeland.

"I want to go back to Brazil. I still have a couple of good years of high-level football in me but I want to be near my kids," he told The Sun.

"Ideally, I'd like to go after the World Cup and I've been talking to Chelsea about it.

"It will all depend on Chelsea - if the club release me or let me go on loan."
