Deco Eyeing Chelsea Switch

Last updated : 29 May 2004 By Rich Godden
Bayern Munich are known to be keen admirers of Deco and have reportedly offered around £6 million for the Portugese international. But their interest may have waned, after Bayern president Franz Beckenbauer said "Deco's value could have increased after that game. If that were the case, he would be incompatible for Bayern."

And their interest will almost certainly end once they hear what Deco had to say about a move to Chelsea. He told The Sun "Of course I'd like to go to Chelsea as he's a coach I know well. He's won everything here and now has other ambitions.

"I've a preference for the English league because of the way they play."

So it looks like whoever gets Mourinho as manager will be adding some art Deco to their team!
