Inter Milan target Ricardo Carvalho has hit out at Chelsea management.

In Portuguese newspaper O Jogo on Monday, Carvalho condemned Chelsea for a lack of support while knee and thigh problems sidelined him for much of the season.

Carvalho said: "I hope Chelsea and Inter can reach an agreement for me. I was injured for much of last season, and was not happy and Chelsea can't have been happy with what I did in the past year. I believe that my time at Chelsea is reaching an end.

"Everything is fine when you are fit to play, but there is no support when things are not going so well. I am happy that a big club such as Inter is interested in me and ideally I will leave this year."
