The parents of Chelsea's prospective signing Vincenzo Camilleri have hit back at Reggina president Lillo Foti over his claims this week.

In an open letter published by Corriere dello Sport, the Camilleri family said: "President Foti knew everything and that at the end of January we had met with Chelsea.

"We are not going to London for money, Reggina offered more."

The Camilleris also made it clear they were furious with the comments made by Foti over the way they were treating Vincenzo and claims they were gambling with their son's future by taking him to Chelsea.
