Liverpool, Chelsea & Manchester United Suffer Blow In Chase For Dede

Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United target Dede has cooled talk of a £15million summer move.

Express Online reported last week that Vasco da Gama, who is believed to have financial troubles, had invited the Premier League giants to make an offer for the highly-rated defender.

The Brazil international said he will arrive in Rio de Janerio "to know what's going on" but insisted: "I'll keep focusing on my job."

United are looking for a long-term successor to Nemanja Vidic while Liverpool are considering offloading Martin Skrtel. Jamie Carragher has announced he will retire at the end of the season.

Dede, talking to Brazilian television show Globo Esporte, added: "I don't know anything. Corinthians are a great club and I won't say I wouldn't like to play there."

AC Milan and Benfica are also rumoured to be interested in the 24-year-old's services.

Dede is renowned for his aerial process and tough tackling.
