Chelsea star Deco could be set for a move to Brazilian outfit Fluminense, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
The 32-year-old midfielder is said to be eager for a switch to Brazil, where he was born, in order to be closer to his sons in Rio de Janeiro. Fluminense are believed to have made the first move to give him his wish, with Flamengo — Deco's first club — and Corinthians also interested.
Deco still has a year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, but with Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti ready to shake up his ageing squad, and with the player himself publicly stating he was ready to leave, the former Barcelona man will be allowed to leave for a cut-price fee.
According to the report, a meeting between Deco and Chelsea officials is planned for after the Blues' final Premier League fixture of the season with Wigan Athletic on Sunday.
Deco is due to meet up with Portugal's World Cup squad soon after the following week's FA Cup final against Portsmouth, and both he and Fluminense believed to be keen to iron out any potential deal as soon as possible.
Twice a Champions League winner - with FC Porto and Barcelona - Deco has made 55 appearances for Chelsea, scoring six goals.
