Deco yesterday declared an ambition to be reunited with his former Porto coach Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and AS says Lampard is again in the thoughts of Barca coach Frank Rijkaard.

Indeed, an unnamed Barca director admitted that Lampard "is a target".

With Deco unsettled at the Nou Camp, a swap deal could be on with the Portugal international moving to Stamford Bridge for Lampard.
