Inter Milan held talks with Portuguese super agent Jorge Mendes yesterday over Chelsea pair Deco and Ricardo Carvalho.

Corriere dello Sport says Mendes will contact both players today, who are currently on holiday, to assure them that Inter want to do business - and also that neither are in the plans of new Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Mendes is scheduled to fly to Milan next Monday or Tuesday to finalise personal terms with Inter before moving to London to discuss a fee with Chelsea.
