'I have a contract with Chelsea, but I know there are offers from other clubs,' he told Portuguese media. 'I want to feel happy and this is not the case at Chelsea. 'I want to find a club where I can again take joy from playing. I did not like the experience at Chelsea.' Deco has been linked with a move to Inter Milan which would see him reunited with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

I know the clubs have spoken. I just have to have respect that and wait.'
