Chelsea are confident that they will eventually get compensation off Juventus in their case against Adrian Mutu. The Premier league will listen to both sides of the arguments before deciding whether to pass it on to FIFA, who will then decide whether Chelsea are entitled to any cash.


Mutu's solicitor John Hewison said: “The hearing of Chelsea's claim against Adrian is now complete. And, until a decision is given, no further comment will be given about it. Adrian would just like to say the last six months out of football have been difficult for him.”

“He has been training very hard and he is now looking forward to playing first-team football again.”


Chelsea are seeking compensation from the player based on his transfer value, and sporting sanctions against him under article 42 of FIFA's regulations for the status and transfer of players.

Chelsea parted ways with Mutu after he tested positive for cocaine back in October, the player was then given a 7 month ban, but Juventus were quick to step in and offer him a life line.
