Agent wants support for Mutu fine

The agent of Adrian Mutu believes Juventus must pay part of his client's £14.6million fine to Chelsea. The Fiorentina striker was ordered to pay the fine after the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld FIFA's ruling for breach of contract. "I believe Mutu has to give back the money he earned at Chelsea," said Mutu's agent Giovanni Becali to calciomercato.com. "But the rest should be paid by Juventus, Livorno and the Moggi family (Mutu's former agent Alessandro Moggi)." Mutu was sacked by Chelsea in 2004 when he tested positive for cocaine, but the Blues complained when he joined Juventus following a drug ban. The player's transfer to Juve turned out to be more complicated as Juve had no available room to buy another non-EU player from abroad and Mutu's move also involved fellow Serie A club Livorno, who signed the player and contemporaneously sold him to Juventus. In the summer of 2006, Juve transferred Mutu to Fiorentina for 8million euros.
