Inter Milan midfielder Thiago Motta believes Chelsea star Deco would be an important signing for the Serie A winners.
Deco has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge and Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho is desperate to offer him a lifeline in Italy.
"When I played with him (Deco) at Barcelona, you had the best Ronaldinho while Lionel Messi was beginning to shine, but the reference point for everyone was Deco," said Motta in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
"He is the most complete midfielder there is.
"He would be a fantastic reinforcement."
Deco joined Chelsea last summer from Barcelona for £8million but after a promising start, the Portuguese midfielder failed to live up to the hype and was rarely used in the second half of the campaign.
The 31-year-old is under contract with Chelsea until June 2011.

Deco started off great but quickly became very ordinary, he looked unfit, I think once he discovered the London nightlife that was that, he has been a wonderful player but he really wasn t good enough at the end, all things must pass!!.
Abramovich started the craze?? Real Madrid started the craze long ago, Abramovich just took it to England.
deco is a real talent he is one of the most complete midfielders there is how can chelsea fans mock him thats proper biased its simple his style wasnt like chelsea's style apart from that he is still a hell of a player chelsea were stupid not to play him more so he could gel with the team idiots!! too much money is ruining the game yes that means you mr abramovich you started this stupid craze!
Bye Bye
Chelsea STAR?????? dont let the door hit you
