The agent of Barcelona playmaker Deco has denied speculation his client is poised to link up with Luiz Felipe Scolari at Chelse

The Brazil-born duo have enjoyed a good working relationship with the Portuguese national team, although that is due to end following Euro 2008 with Scolari set to take charge of Chelsea on July 1.

Deco is out of favour at Barcelona but, according to his agent Acaz Fellegger, that does not mean he is poised to move to Stamford Bridge.

"Deco is still under contract with Barcelona, even though everyone knows that he will leave the club," said Fellegger.

"Deco was also linked with Inter Milan, and now with Chelsea, but it is all speculation. There is nothing in it."

Deco, 30, said earlier this week he would like to work with Scolari at club level.

"He is a coach with whom I have a great trust and a relationship that is impossible to better," he said.

Barca, meanwhile, have denied reports that Arsenal target Yaya Toure will be used as a makeweight in their bid for fellow midfielder Alexander Hleb.

"Nothing has been decided as yet," said the Spaniard's sporting director Txiki Beguiristain.

"But we want Yaya to stay with us and he is not on the market.

"[Manager Josep] Guardiola considers him to be an important player in his new project."

Toure's elder brother, Kolo, is a central defender at Arsenal, who look set to reluctantly sell Hleb after the Belarus international admitted he has struggled to adapt to life in London.
