The Portuguese defender’s time in Turin has been beset by difficulties and two very serious injuries.

He joined from Deportivo La Coruna in July 2007 for around £7m, but fractured his left kneecap during the 2-2 draw at Roma on September 23 that same year.

He required two different operations on the knee and played a total of four Serie A games for the club.

Andrade was set to make his comeback, but suffered another setback to the same knee during pre-season training on July 11 and went under the knife again.

Juventus have reportedly not paid the player since that second injury and, according to Tuttosport, the proposed unilateral termination of the contract has hit major problems.

As the 30-year-old Portuguese defender is blaming Juve medical staff for putting him back in full training too quickly, he feels they owe him those wages.

On the other hand, the Bianconeri argue Andrade has been inactive since the first injury in September 2007 and could therefore have his contract terminated.

Newspaper Tuttosport suggests the matter could be dragged through the courts before there is a resolution.
