Ex-Barca – Deco asks to leave Chelsea
According to reports in British newspaper The Sun and Portugal’s Abola, former FC Barcelona favourite and Portuguese midfielder Deco (32) has asked his current club Chelsea to allow him to leave in the summer. The Portuguese international wants to return to Brazilian football where he can be closer to his family. The player, born in Brazil, is quoted as saying, “I want to go back to Brazil. I feel I can still play at the highest level in the next two years but I want to be near my children. I would leave after the World Cup and have already talked with Chelsea about it.”
The player has only recently announced his plans to retire from international football after this summer’s World Cup, and it seems with only one year left on his current Chelsea contract the former Barca and Porto favourite has set his heart on a return to his homeland. Although he has not said to which club he would like to move, it is rumoured Flamenco are already lining up a move for the midfielder. “It depends on Chelsea, if they let me go for free, or on loan. I do not want to choose a preference (of club) but it is time to go back,” he said.
What a player he was at Barça.
He never should have left to Chelsea.
True that what a player he was at Barca.
But I think its correct time he have left to Chelsea.
Xavi/Iniesta was much better after he leaves, just like what happed when Ronaldinho leaves and Messi became man
now he's ready to retire he deems himself a brazilian. how ironic. still love deco tho, whc is even more ironic.
HE IS MY FAV PLAYER
Great flair of football, always try stuff
luv him <3
Your a family man first, then a football player not the other way around. I respect his decision on wanting to be near his family, however its funny how some of his current teammates at Chelsea quite not care about their love one's (JT and Ashley Cole) and maybe learn from Deco.
