CHELSEA are ready to let John Terry join Manchester City – if their moneybags Premier League rivals offer £40m.
It is understood owner Roman Abramovich has become increasingly frustrated with the Blues skipper’s recent antics.
City – owned by the mega-rich Abu Dhabi United Group – are ready to pay Terry, 28, over £200,000-a-week and have the funds to pay what would be a record price for a deal between two Premier League clubs.
And Russian tycoon Ambramovich will not entertain raising Terry’s wages of £140,000 a week.
Despite being seen as Mr Chelsea, Terry’s increasingly powerful role at Stamford Bridge has become of increasing concern to senior figures.
The centre-back has done nothing to quell City’s interest since it was confirmed they wanted to sign him last Thursday.
It remains to be seen whether the player who has made 272 appearances for Chelsea will make a statement committing himself to the west London club.
Terry has appeared to become an increasingly powerful figure at Chelsea over the last few years.
In May, former Chelsea star Claude Makelele claimed in his autobiography that Terry was even responsible for the sacking of former boss Jose Mourinho – something the defender strongly denies.
But at the same time he is believed to have raised eyebrows by telling his bosses they should be signing players like David Villa and Frank Ribery.
It now appears if City come up with what would be a huge offer for a 28-year-old who suffers with a back problem, Terry could be on his way north.
Lol Roman dam stingy arh.
continue here pls, thanks.
