Sky Sport interviewed Deco who revealed he was close to join Inter when Mourinho was at the club:

“When I left Barcelona in 2008, I could’ve joined Inter. There was an offer, but then I chose Chelsea because I dreamed about playing in England. At 30 years old I wanted to try out that experience. In Italy, I’ve always been an Inter supporter. Together with Barca the Nerazzurri are the European teams that I’ve been rooting for.”
