Captain John Terry offered a new one year contract

Chelsea football club have listened to the plea
of their fans and offered long serving 35 year old
captain John Terry a new one year contract for
him to remain at Stamford Bridge.
John Terry had already intimated to friends and
family that he will be playing his last match for
the club against Leicester City this weekend, but
having met with Chelsea officials this week, he's
been offered a one year deal to remain at the
club.
A club spokesman said according to SportsMail:
'Marina Granovskaia and Bruce Buck met with
John and his agent this week and offered him a
one-year contract extension.
'With it coming so late in the season, this is a
big decision for John and his family and it is
something that they are now considering.'
Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink revealed during
his press conference on Friday that he had been
speaking to the club about Terryinforming them
that they needed to 'cherish' their legends.
'I talk to the people inside every now and then,'
Hiddink said. 'I'm always in favour, generally
speaking, that players, ex players – I'm not
talking about John now – have a lot of influence
in the culture of a club.
'When the players say goodbye to a club they
love and come back, in whatever task, I'm in
favour. Maybe that's also for John in the future.
I don't know.'
He added: 'He is already 21 years in this club. I
saw an image of him recently coming in as a
youngster. It's huge, 21 years. That's why they
become legends.
'You must cherish those legends for the future
as well.'
