Terry could get new deal
John Terry could still be offered a new deal at the end of the season, according to Chelsea.
The Blues skipper, whose current deal expires at the end of June, told reporters on Sunday that he would leave the club in the summer because they would not be given a new deal.
He said: “I knew before the Arsenal game so mentally I’ve kind of accepted it. We just have to move on.
“It’s not going to be a fairytale ending, I’m not going to retire at Chelsea. It’s going to be elsewhere which it took me a couple of days to get over.”
But a statement released by the club has contradicted the 35-year-old’s claim. They say nothing is decided yet and he could yet earn a contract extension.
The statement read: “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.”
It continues: “While no new deal currently on the table, that situation could change in the coming months.”
