Belletti announces Chelsea departure via Twitter

Juliano Belletti is almost certain to leave Chelsea this summer after admitting on Twitter that the FA Cup final looks likely to be his last game for the club, reports The Guardian. The 33-year-old Brazilian is out of contract at the end of the season, and was linked with a move to Flamengo during the January transfer window.

On Sunday night he posted three messages on Twitter. The first read: "FA Cup Final: Chelsea v Portsmouth, 15 May at Wembley. Maybe my last game for Chelsea."

Then, shortly afterwards: "My contract ends in June and I still have not decided where to go." Finally, a few minutes later: "Still not thinking about retiring. I will try to reach my goal of 1,000 games. Stuck near 950."
