Carvalho blasts bungling Chelsea and begs Mourinho to take him to Inter

07 July 2009 18:37
Ricardo Carvalho has tried to force a move to Inter Milan by blasting Chelsea for mishandling his injuries. Inter's interest in the Portugal defender and Stamford Bridge team-mate Deco has cooled after the clubs failed to get close on their valuation of the pair. But Carvalho, who is under contract until 2012, is determined to team up again with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho. 'I would like to open a new page in my career,' said Carvalho in an interview with Corriere dello Sport. 'I am ready to do it. 'I have spoken to the Chelsea executives and they know what I want. We shall see what happens. My agent Jorge Mendes knows what I want.' Carvalho has also been linked with a move to Manchester City, but he clearly prefers the Italian option. 'If I leave Chelsea, I plan to play in another top club, otherwise I will remain in London and respect my contract,' said Carvalho. 'It's not a case of being arrogant, in recent years I've played at a certain level and I can continue to play at that level still. 'Everyone has spoken well about Inter. My friend Tiago who plays at Juventus has said that at Inter you have great champions and that the Serie A is a good tournament.
