  BRIDGE TOO FAR ... John Terry could be up for a move to Manchester City

   

   

  JOHN TERRY has been offered a record-busting £300,000-A-WEEK to join Manchester City. The future of the Chelsea and England skipper is now on a knife-edge. 

  Terry, 28, has been blown away by City's offer, which is worth a mind-blowing £15.6million-a-year. But it is a measure of how boss Mark Hughes views the centre-back as crucial to City's development. 

  Terry would become easily the world's highest-paid player. His salary would dwarf even that of the footballer closest to him - Cristiano Ronaldo, on £255,000-a- week at Real Madrid. 

  Hughes reckons Terry is the key to City bursting into the Premier League's top four and becoming one of Europe's leading clubs. The Welshman is convinced he can get a good five years out of the centre-back, despite some of the injury problems he has suffered in the last couple of seasons, and has long had him on his radar. 

  City failed with a move for Terry last season and, though the latest £30m offer has been firmly rejected by Chelsea, SunSport understands the pursuit is far from over. 

  In fact, the Londoners are bracing themselves for another bid in the region of £40m. Sources close to Terry say the player is beginning to wonder whether Chelsea really want him as much as they claim and admit he has been impressed by the faith Hughes has in him.

  SunSport can reveal Terry has had no contact with incoming manager Carlo Ancelotti since the Italian got the job and is worried that his influence at Stamford Bridge could be on the wane. 

  Terry has become more than just the skipper at Chelsea. He was almost on the board and was the link-man between the players and the hierarchy. Ancelotti may have different ideas about how the club should operate. Yet with Hughes, Terry knows he will be the main man whichever stars arrive. 

  Terry currently earns around £150,000-a-week with the Blues, so would be doubling his wages. City are also prepared to pay Samuel Eto'o £250,000-a-week to secure his services from Barcelona. Clearly money is no object to City's Arab owners. 

  Chelsea suspect Terry has been tapped up and City sources admit the club would not have made a bid without doing its homework. In other words, they have already found out whether he would be interested in the move before making their official approach. 

  SunSport was told: "This one could run for a while. John is really interested in what City have to say. It is not impossible he could leave."

  John Terry may be forced to declare Chelsea loyalty as Man City transfer gossip persists

   

  

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  John Terry is on a collision course with Chelsea's incoming boss Carlo Ancelotti.

  The Italian will be unveiled at Stamford Bridge tomorrow but expects his press conference to be overshadowed by talk of a renewed bid by Manchester City to sign Terry.

  Although Chelsea issued a statement last week dismissing talk of Terry's exit, the Blues hierarchy are amazed at the timing of the bid and Terry's silence.

  Ancelotti is ready to square up to Terry and demand a public declaration of the skipper's loyalty to the club.

  If that is not forthcoming, Ancelotti will fear the England star's head has been turned by talk of a salary exceeding £250,000 a week at Eastlands.

  Terry will be challenged to ask for a transfer. City refuse to throw in the towel in their attempts to prise Terry away from Stamford Bridge and his future at the club appears to be hanging by a thread.

  Some senior Chelsea executives fear City's interest may even lead to new contract demands from Terry, a situation they are not prepared to tolerate.

  clearly ancelotti would like terry to go so he's saying it's in terry's court.....otherwise he would be saying something to the contrary.....terry's silence may be due to not knowing how the new boss will take to him.......

  300k pounds a week is power but no champions league is tough to swallow and i'm quite sure hughes will not get city in the top four........who's the skipper at city?

  JT must never be sold. I don't think he would want to go to Man City also.

  I don't think Man city will be able to mount a title challenge for at least the next 2 season.

  JOHN TERRY and Mark Hughes stayed in the same Dubai hotel complex last week. Just days afterwards, Manchester City had a £30million bid for the Chelsea and England skipper rejected.

  City, also interested in Carles Puyol of Barcelona, will continue to pursue Terry and are poised to up their offer to £35m. 

  Both City boss Hughes and centre-back Terry holidayed at the exclusive Jumeirah Beach complex. Each had a villa on the sea front. 

  City are very keen to land Terry. But Barca captain and Spanish international defender Puyol, 31, is seen as the back-up alternative if they fail to net their first choice. 

  Barca are bracing themselves for another fight with City, to add to the one over Samuel Eto'o, and do not want to lose Puyol. City, though, are in talks with Puyol's advisers and lining up a big-money offer. 

  Holidaymakers at Jumeirah Beach have told SunSport how they saw Hughes and Terry there the weekend before last. 

  Jason Dyer, from Hertfordshire, said: "We met John Terry in one of the restaurants and saw him around the hotel gardens. We also had breakfast at the next table to Mark Hughes. 

  "It was amazing to find when we came home City had made a bid for Terry."

• YURI ZHIRKOV is due to have a medical at Chelsea today before completing an £18million move from CSKA Moscow. 

• The Londoners have been chasing the Russian winger, 25, for three years. He has also been recommended by former Blues boss Guus Hiddink. 

  CSKA president Yevgeny Giner said: "In transfer issues there are very many nuances which could make any deal fall through. But I won't deny we are negotiating with Chelsea about Zhirkov's move to London."
