Chelsea midfielder Deco has agreed terms with Fluminense.

The Chelsea playmaker has been a marginal figure at Stamford Bridge this season, and although he has a year left to run on his contract, Roman Abramovich is willing to let the Portuguese international leave on a free.

O Globo declared this morning: "The fans can now celebrate. Fluminense completed the last details for the transfer of Deco last night. He will play for the Tricolor carioca after the World Cup."
