Deco out? Lampard in

Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard (29) has decided to leave his club in the summer. Chelsea would want to cooperate to avoid seeing the player leave on a free transfer in 2009. The transfer price of Lampard would be around 18 million euro, which could drop to 12 million euro if the player, who is also being followed by AC Milan and Juventus, would be willing to use the so-called Webster-ruling.

Barcelona has already let Lampard know they are interested in him. The departure of Barcelona midfielder Deco (30), who would have received a spectacular offer from Atlético Madrid, could open the way for a deal with the English international.

The paper says that Lampard's partner, Catalan ex-model Elen Rivas, has spent two weeks living in Barcelona with the Gudjohnsen family lately. During that period she has been looking for a house in the city, finding in the end what she was looking for in Sitges.
