Chelsea playmaker Deco has revealed he wants to quit Stamford Bridge and return to Brazil in the summer.
Deco has another year left to run on his contract but is hoping the Blues will either release him early or let him go out on loan to a club in Brazil next season.
The Portugal international has struggled for action since signing a three-year deal in 2008 but says the real reason he wants to go back to Brazil is so he can be close to his family.
"I want to go back to Brazil," he revealed. "I still have a couple of good years of high-level football in me but I want to be near my kids. Ideally, I'd like to go after the World Cup and I've been talking to Chelsea about it.
"
It will all depend on Chelsea - if the club release me or let me go on loan."
