Italian champions Inter Milan has given up bids for Portuguese duo Ricardo Carvalho and Deco due to their high price.

Inter's transfer consultant Lele Oriali Tuesday told local media that English premier league club Chelsea put too high a price for the players which made Inter give up the bids.

Meanwhile, Inter said in a statement they had signed 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder Kerlon from Chievo.
