Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho remains coy over the possible arrivals of Chelsea pair Deco and Ricardo Carvalho to the San Siro this summer.

The Italian champions are lining up a move to bring the Portuguese duo to Inter, but former Stamford Bridge boss Mourinho admits the situation is out of his hands.

He said: "They are Chelsea players.

"I don't like to talk about other clubs' players.

"They used to be my players and it would be a pleasure to have them again in the future.

"But it is Chelsea that must decide what to do."

Mourinho is familiar with centre-back Carvalho and midfielder Deco having coached both players at Porto.

Carvalho, who moved to Chelsea in 2004 to work again under Mourinho, endured a frustrating campaign with his appearances for the Blues limited by injury.

Deco joined Chelsea from Barcelona in summer 2008 but also suffered injuries, making just 22 league appearances last season.
