Inter president Massimo Moratti has played down reports of a swap deal between unsettled striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o.

"I met Barca president Joan Laporta and we both said it would be better to keep our players. We are not thinking of a swap. This situation with Ibrahimovic drags on but even this time I think he'll stay," Moratti told Sky today.

Moratti, who said no decision had been made on a bid for Deco, added that the Italian champions were interested in Chelsea and Portugal team mate Ricardo Carvalho.
