May 16th 2008 04:18
The Portugal international joined Barca from Porto in 2004 and has a contract until 2010. However Barcelona told Deco's agent that he was free to find himself a new club for next season.
'I want to be where I am wanted and when things end up this way, it is best that you go. I thank the club for being honest with me.'
Deco insists his next step will either be the Premier League or Serie A, adding: 'I will go to England or Italy, I am sure. I won't stay in Spain because the only club that is of Barca's level is Madrid and I would never go to Madrid.'
The 30-year-old playmaker has suffered from injuries this season which have limited him to just 14 starts in Barca's 37 league games.
It was also announced last week that reserve team manager Josep Guardiola will be replacing coach Frank Rijkaard as coach for Barcelona this summer.
