Adrian Mutu joins Chennai Titans

Juventus’ former winger Adrian Mutu is all set to join Indian Super League side Chennai Titans from Romanian club Petrolul Ploiesti on a season-long loan deal.

The 35-year-old joined the Liga 1 side from French outfit Ajaccio on a free transfer this year after his contract was terminated in January, and has since then made 14 league appearances for the Yellow Blues, scoring on four occasions and assisting on two others.

However the player is now on his way to India to try his luck out in the lucrative new league, when he signs for the Chennai based franchisee coached by marquee manager Marco Materazzi, and will return to Romania in the winter once the tournament is over.

Mutu has had his share of European experience having previously played for clubs like Chelsea, Parma, Inter Milan and Fiorentina among others and will now join Roberto Pires, Nikolas Anelka, Alessandro Del Piero, Luis Garcia,  in the inaugural edition of the ISL, which will be played between 12th October to 20th December.
