Inter Milan chief Lele Oriali says Chelsea are asking too much for Ricardo Carvalho and Deco.

He told Sky Italia: "Inter don't need emissaries, the president didn't send anyone and neither did I.

"Having had the fortune of being able to speak directly with Chelsea, we know that they are ready to negotiate over these two players, but the asking price is too high.

"The deal is not as simple as it might seem. It's unrealistic for us in the current conditions. At the moment the deal is closed, and we don't know if it will open up again later on."
