Deco pondering return to Brazil

Chelsea playmaker Deco says he wants to return to Brazilian football and has had talks with Fluminense.

The Brazilian-born Portugal midfielder said Tuesday he wishes to play in Brazil again and that Fluminense is a "great possibility" even though there is "nothing concrete yet."

Deco says he talked with Fluminense officials and they proposed "a nice project."

Although Deco still has another year on his contract with Chelsea, he does not discard negotiations with the English club to return to Brazil as soon as the World Cup is over.

Corinthians, where Deco started his career before moving to Portugal, also reportedly wanted to sign the midfielder.

Fluminense is one of Rio's top clubs. It has former Brazil striker Fred.
