Chelsea midfielder Deco is in advanced talks with Inter Milan.
The Daily Mail says Inter manager Jose Mourinho has not been put off by Deco's recent struggle to make an impact - and the ex-Chelsea boss may yet return for Ricardo Carvalho.
Deco, 31, said: "It would be a pleasure to be back with Mourinho, but I don't want to go into details, because it's not me who's dealing with the matter."
