The Italian giants want to sign a top central defender this summer. And they will offer the England skipper £120,000 a week to move to the San Siro. Milan have already given a top agent the task of negotiating a deal for the £25million-rated star. The prospect of losing Terry could further undermine a Blues outfit already reeling from their Champions League exit and the probable loss of the title to Manchester United. But Milan believe they can take advantage of the complete breakdown in talks about a new contract between Terry and Chelsea.A senior Milan source said: “We have been monitoring Terry and his situation with Chelsea and believe he would be an excellent and valuable player for Milan.” Sport can reveal the Blues offered Terry a five-year, £110,000-a-week, deal a month ago. When Terry turned it down, he was told it was the final offer and he should take it or leave it.
Chelsea’s hierarchy were shocked when their captain said ‘No thanks’. He believes he deserves at least the same £121,000 a week handed out to Andriy Shevchenko and Michael Ballack. Chief executive Peter Kenyon has insisted the club will not go to that level and Terry, 26, is now considering his options. He has two years left on his current agreement, which nets him £70,000 a week. If Chelsea refuse to sell him, the player could run down his contract and instead of getting £25m the club would receive only around £10m next year.
