– Chelsea will not be renewing Terry’s contract
– The captain has played 696 official games for the club
he joined as a 14 year old
– Chelsea say things could change over the next couple of
weeks.
Chelsea’s long standing captain John Terry says he is set
to leave the club at the end of the season but the club
have released a statement saying contract negotiations
could be opened.
Speaking after Chelsea’s 5 – 1 FA Cup win over MK Dons,
the legendary defender said he was sad he would not be
having a fairytale ending at the club.
He said the club have decided not to renew his contract
which ends at the end of the season.
Terry, who has played 696 times for Chelsea also said he
hopes to continue his career, but not with another English
club.
“Ideally, I would have loved to stay, but the club’s moving
in a different direction
“I couldn’t play for another Premier League club,” said
Terry. “It will be elsewhere for sure. I feel as though I’m in
great nick, I’m playing great and I’ve got a couple of years
to go.
“The club will move on. No player is ever bigger than the
club. No doubt they’ll sign one or two great centre-
backs.”
“They said that when the new manager comes in, things
might change.
“It’s not going to be a fairytale ending. I’m not going to
retire at Chelsea, which it took me a couple of days to get
over.”
The club has however released a statement claiming that
though nothing is on offer for their legendary defender,
things could change over the next couple of weeks.

Terry joined the club at the age of 14, has won four
Premier League titles, five FA Cups and the Champions
League with the Blues.
The statement reads: “He is a fantastic servant of Chelsea
Football Club and a superb captain and, as such, the club
will keep the channels of dialogue open.
“While no new deal currently on the table, that situation
could change in the coming months.
“They said that when the new manager comes in, things
might change. It’s a no at the minute.
“Unfortunately it was a no. It’s not going to be a fairytale
ending, I’m not going to retire at Chelsea.”
