Chelsea star Juliano Belletti set for 'surprise' exit as Brazilian champions Flamengo make move
Flamengo hope to clinch a deal to sign Juliano Belletti from Chelsea before the end of the week.
Heading off: Juliano Belletti is set to join Flamengo
The 33-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and the Brazilian champions want him on a free transfer for the start of the Copa Libertadores - South America's equivalent of the Champions League - which they kick off next month.
Flamengo will offer Belletti a two-year deal.
The versatile Brazil international has played a bit-part this season but has proved useful while the likes of John Mikel Obi and Michael Essien have been on Africa Cup of Nations duty.
Flamengo are confident of a deal, but may have to wait till the end of the month, and Belletti last night warned: 'The offer is surprising to me because Chelsea have not said they will release me in January.'

No lah...I don't think he will go.... probably only when after the end of the season.

I think he will leave to join Adriano at Flamengo. Anyway, Chelsea needs new blood. Correct me if i'm wrong but the first 11 are all hitting their 30s.
