Deco Chasing Chelsea Glory
(Soccer365.com) Portuguese international and Chelsea signing Deco says he turned down offers from Saudi Arabia and America in order to play for the Blues.
Deco says he made the move to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona at the start of the summer in order to win more medals.
He said: "If I wanted to go somewhere for the money I wouldn't have come to Chelsea.
"There were many other places that offered much more money, the money I wanted I could have gone to Saudi Arabia or the United States.
"It's not about the money. Obviously money is important but not that important, I have plenty of money, more than I need, so for me I wanted to go to a place where I could have better objectives and to still have this challenge to win games.
"If I wanted money I could have stayed in Barcelona - I had two years left on my contract, which was a lovely contract.
"It was a sunny and lovely place to live but I want to have new challenges, more objectives and the will to win more trophies - and that is why I came to Chelsea. If it was for money I would have gone somewhere else."
