Camilleri had been expected to sign with Reggina next month when he turns 16 but the Serie A club have just discovered that he intends to move to Chelsea.

"The player was contacted a couple of months ago when he was and still is a Reggina player," claimed Reggina supremo Lillo Foti.

"This is an action of disloyalty and incorrectness.

"Reggina must announce that Vincenzo Camilleri has refused to take part in an official game for the club and has preferred to travel to London accompanied by his mother and a type of agent to reach a financial agreement with Chelsea.

"We have made complaints to the Italian Football Federation and to UEFA.

"Roman Abramovich's Chelsea think that with money they can take away from Reggina and Italian football those values with which with care and sacrifice the small clubs follow to give youngsters an opportunity to develop," he added.

UEFA president Michel Platini expressed his regret over the situation.

Platini told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Young players should remain in the club they come from with their families, postponing their move to another club or another country until they are 20 or 22."
