[足球][ESPN] Carvalho slams Chelsea and wants Inter move

Inter Milan target Ricardo Carvalho believes his Chelsea career has come to an end and would love to play in Italy.

The 31-year-old defender, who was confirmed as a transfer target for the Serie A champions on Monday, also took a swipe at the Blues for neglecting him when he was injured last season.

Carvalho made only 18 appearances in an injury ravaged campaign and is eager to be reunited with former Chelsea and Porto boss Jose Mourinho at the San Siro.

"I believe my time at Chelsea has come to an end and I'm very happy a big club like Inter are interested in me," Carvalho told the Daily Star. "It's a new challenge and I'd like to play in Italy."

"I've been at Chelsea for five years, and four of them were very good, but this last season I spent a lot of time out injured. I wasn't happy and Chelsea can't have been happy with my contribution.

"Furthermore, when I was injured the club should have given me more support. They should have helped me more, especially given my past four years at Chelsea. Their attitude disappointed me a little."

Of former coach Mourinho, Carvalho added: "Mourinho's a coach who knows me better than anybody. Together we won big trophies. He's an ambitious coach and a perfectionist.

"Let's see if the clubs can reach an agreement. I'd love to work with Jose Mourinho again."

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti confirmed on Monday that Mourinho had asked him to sign Carvalho and Portugal midfielder Deco in the transfer window. Chelsea will demand at least £12m before they consider selling the duo.
