John Terry has agreed a new £50 million deal with Chelsea.
The Sunday Mirror says Terry has agreed a new five-year contract worth a staggering £50 million to commit his long-term future to Chelsea.
Terry’s existing deal had three years to run and was estimated to be worth around £140,000 a week.
Under the terms of his new arrangement Terry will pocket around £170,000 a week and become the highest paid player at the club.
The club and country captain who was torn between staying at Stamford Bridge and moving to Manchester City during the summer has now conclusively brought speculation about his future to a complete end.
that means like 85 k pounds after taxes, not enough
Craziness! 170k Pounds-a-week!!!
But it does make a little sense after tax reductions are weighed in, cos these footballers are actually 'donating' towards their government's coffers after all.
really who nv expect this news to come?
i think everyone expect 151k only. lol
So this is the reason he stayed back and rejected City after he and Lescott both met City in the Middle East during the close season... Oh well... every man for themselves...
John Terry is set to become the highest paid player in England with his new £41 million Chelsea contract.
The Sun says the Blues captain is set to sign a £160,000-a-week contract before reporting for England duty tonight.
Terry, 28, has effectively committed the rest of his career to Chelsea by agreeing the five-year deal, worth a total of £41m.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has allowed the pay rise after Manchester City tried to sign the England skipper.
City's Arab owners were prepared to pay Terry an annual salary of £10m.
But Terry is remaining loyal to Chelsea and has been rewarded with the new deal which will pay him an extra £30,000 every week.
That puts him above £150,000-a-week Frank Lampard as the club's highest earner and on a par with £8million-a-year City striker Robinho.
insane man.
any more increase in subscription fees to watch them play, i'll just stop it all.
Chelsea is delighted to confirm that John Terry has signed a new five-year contract that keeps him at the club until the end of the 2013-14 season.
This reaffirms both John's and Chelsea's long stated desire for John to be at Stamford Bridge for the rest of his playing career.
