LONDON: Chelsea’s former Spanish midfielder Enrique De Lucas is suing the English champions for more than £2.5mil after they terminated his contract in 2003.
De Lucas, who began a London High Court action on Monday, is seeking damages in unpaid wages, bonuses, appearance fees, accommodation and other expenses, including English language tuition.
The 27-year-old’s move to English football in 2002 was a complex one involving Spanish club Deportivo Alaves.
His case, which is expected to last three days, centres on whether or not Chelsea breached their contract with the player by sending him to play for Alaves after he had made 31 appearances for the west London club in 2002-03. – Reuters
