Carvalho seeks Inter move
Ricardo Carvalho has reiterated his desire to leave Chelsea for Inter Milan.
Reports earlier this week suggested Inter were no longer interested in Carvalho or his Blues team-mate Deco after talks with Chelsea stalled.
However, Carvalho has called on the Premier League club to let him leave as he seeks a new challenge in Italy with Jose Mourinho.
"I am on holiday at the moment and I will go back to England on either Thursday or Friday, but I have made up my mind and I want to open a new cycle in my career," Carvalho told Corriere dello Sport.
"I feel ready to do it. I had a chance to discuss this with the Chelsea directors and they know what I think. Now we'll see what happens.
Separate ways
"I have been living in London for the past five years and I have had some marvellous moments. The first four seasons were wonderful, but the last one was difficult. Now I think it's right that Chelsea and I go our separate ways."
The Portugal international insists he would only leave Chelsea for a top side and he describes Inter as a 'special club.'
"I spoke to my agent and he knows what I want," added Carvalho.
"If I leave Chelsea, I want to play for another great club, not an average side - otherwise I will honour my contract in London.
Special club"Inter are a top club, better yet, a special club. I have heard good things about them and I don't even need to talk to Mourinho. He is a great professional and working with him again would be a big stimulus for me.
"I still have a lot to prove and I am not at the end of my career.
"I did what I had to do, now it's up to the two clubs discussing.
"I will say nothing else because I have respect for Chelsea.
"They paid a lot for me from Porto and for four years they have treated me in a really good way."
