The agent of Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu hopes to soon meet with Chelsea officials to settle their compo dispute.

"Perhaps Adrian will meet (Chelsea owner Roman) Abramovich and (Chelsea chief executive Peter) Kenyon," said Giovanni Becali. "We shall see what can be done regarding this fine." Mutu was sacked by Chelsea in 2004 when he tested positive for cocaine, but the Blues complained when he resumed his career at Juventus following a drug-ban.

"The problem of Abramovich and Chelsea is not the money," said Becali. "They are angry because Juve signed the player as a free transfer only to sell him to Fiorentina for eight to nine million euros.

"Of course, had I been his agent back then, I would not have left Chelsea without any guarantees. He was in a hurry, just as his agents were at the time, and this is where we are at.

"Mutu does not have [the fine money] even if he was to play for another five or six years."
