Werder Bremen star Diego insists his future rests in the hands of his club, amid reports Chelsea and Manchester City are trying to sign him

The highly-rated midfielder has been linked with a move away from Bremen in the summer with a number of Europe's top clubs thought to be chasing his signature.

Chelsea and Manchester City are reported to be tracking the Brazilian international, who scored against England last year.

The 23-year-old, who recently signed a new deal until 2011 at Bremen, claims he is happy to stay at the club until told otherwise.

"The decision lies with the club. If Klaus Allofs and the president say that I stay, then I play on for Werder," Diego told German paper Syker Kreiszeitung.

"Speculations and rumours are normal in the football business, which annoy me.

"The only thing that bothers me are lies that are disseminated."

Werder Bremen midfielder Diego has attempted to duck transfer speculation while in London with the Brazil squad. Ahead of tonight's friendly against Sweden, Diego was asked by Brazilian journalists about interest from Chelsea, but would only say: "Out of respect to my club, Werder Bremen, I would prefer not to say anything.

"But I will confirm, yes, that several proposals have emerged."

Fantastic goal, didn't help much tho. I'm sure he scored a great Volly against us for Porto in the 04/05 UCL group stage. He has exceptional technique. Can imagine a midfield of Ballack Holding, Lampard and Diego in the Middle, Bentley and Joe Cole out wide and Drogba up front.....

Well, the saga is back

Chelsea are reportedly ready to stage a 25 million bid for Werder Bremen forward Diego, after the likelihood of Robinho moving to Stamford Bridge faded.

Robinho is now expected to sign an extended contract at Real Madrid, ending Chelsea's long-running pursuit of the Brazilian. And several reports have claimed Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari will now turn his attention to Diego, who formed a productive partnership with Robinho when the pair played for Santos.

The 23-year-old, who has been linked with Madrid in the past, is one of the Bundesliga's most eye-catching talents, and Scolari has long been an admirer.

The Blues boss has only signed Deco since taking charge at Stamford Bridge, but is being linked with a number of big names.

Robinho is a player he wants and talks are set to come to a head over the weekend; however Scolari is also thought to have alternatives to the Real Madrid star.

Reports suggest that Werder Bremen star Diego is the man he wants should the Robinho deal collapse, although Sao Paulo's highly-rated Hernanes could also be an option.

A suprising link and we do not need another attacking mid. If any players are to come in it will be winger/striker.......

Peter Kenyon: "Just pure speculation."

[diskoviolente 425]

Diego´s father is the one who plans his sons carrier, and he wants him to go Spain

....

Diego is now in Olympics,and after that, he´ll fill his contract with werderbremen

Juventus have completed the signing of Werder Bremen playmaker Diego for 24m, with the Brazilian signing a five-year contract with his new club. (Sky Sports)

Signed with Juventus with a five year contract... I doubt he's on his way here, folks

Locked.

[Spike 12,049]

There is already a topic on him but it is well old, so here is another!

The Daily Fail is such a terrible site.

And Liverpool TV report it too.

Diego is a fantastic player and would be a cheaper alternative to Sneijder and he would fit in with our ever increasing Brazillian demographics. I don't trust the validity of the sources, but if we did sign him, I would be other the hills with joy. Besides I hate Liverpool almost as much as I love Chelsea and would hate to see of my favourite players at Anfield.

So do you think you should sign him up to our cause?

To put it in perspective would you prefer Diego or Kaka?

[neel 257]

He was great at Bremen. did nothing special at Juve. Very good in freekick

[chrismada9 1,948]

Great playmaker, so I've heard...

[J.F. 1,484]

another brazilian

[Spike 12,049]

Great playmaker, so I've heard...

Maybe that is what we need?
