Sampdoria have had their legal team draw up documents explaining why they intend to rescind Antonio Cassano's contract.
The Italy international has repeatedly apologised for his actions, but Sampdoria look as though they will not forgive and forget.
"The gravity of the episode forces the club to request the gravest sanction that unfortunately involve the loss of the opportunity to recoup eventual monies from the sale of the player's contract which expires in 2013," read the document.
"But it's evident that the credibility of the entire directorial staff of the club is in play."
