Brazilian to follow Cole and Ballack out of Blues' exit door
Chelsea have confirmed Juliano Belletti as the latest man set to leave the club this summer.
The English champions revealed they would not be offering the 33-year-old a new contract when his current deal expires at the end of the month.
That came after announcing earlier on Wednesday that Joe Cole and Michael Ballack would also be heading through the Stamford Bridge exit door after the parties failed to reach agreement on new deals.
All three are out of contract at the end of the month and will be free to join another club.
Belletti joined Chelsea for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2007, signing on a three-year deal from Barcelona.
Signed as an attacking right-back, he later played more in midfield for the Blues, making 54 Premier League appearances for the club and scoring five goals.
The Brazil international made 13 starts in all competitions last season as Chelsea won the league and FA Cup double for the first time in the club's history.
Belletti was a member of Brazil's 2002 World Cup-winning squad but was overlooked for this summer's finals in South Africa.
