The Premiership club terminated the player's contract on the grounds of gross misconduct.
The club have effectively written off £12million - the player's current worth on their books - and took the decision after the player's positive test for cocaine and his admission that he took the drug.
The club's zero-tolerance policy towards the use of drugs, either recreational or performance-enhancing left them with no choice but to end the Romanian skipper's career at Stamford Bridge.
