Terry has won four league titles during his 18 seasons at the club and was a key figure during the Blues’ title-winning campaign last term.

The Chinese Super League is now flush with cash, so much so Ramires has signed for Jiangsu Suning F.C. from Chelsea for £25million. Following the FA Cup win over Milton Keynes Dons, the 35-year-old announced he would be leaving the west London club in the summer after not being handed a fresh deal. “We spoke about my legacy and coming back to the club when I finish”. “The club said that when the new manager comes in [during the summer], things might change”.
The England worldwide, a Champions League and Premier League victor with Chelsea since arriving from Bolton in 2012, fears his sudden exile will damage his chances of featuring at Euro 2016 and could force him to take the unwanted step of considering joining a club who can satisfy his desire for first-team action.
Mourinho was sacked last month, and the Blues have rebounded, going unbeaten in nine games under interim boss Guus Hiddink.
‘I have had some conversations with him in the past days, ‘ Hiddink said on Tuesday. There is no specific decision made yet, you have to see the progress that is made in the transition of the management as well. “The club still want to have the dialogue and to have an open door still”.
Terry, 35, is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club having said he would not sign for another English team, but Hiddink says his form is good enough to warrant an extension.
‘He is fit and performing, ‘ Hiddink said. Remy was due to join Leicester City but the deal was blocked, while Falcao was expected to move to China, a move that could yet be completed as the Super League transfer window is open until 26 February. That’s all I can say about this.
Terry said he’ll continue his career but not at another Premier League club. Since I have been at the club, I haven’t seen him play badly.
