The political posturing surrounding John Terry’s future has taken another twist after Chelsea finally opted to offer their captain a one-year contract extension and the chance to take his career at Stamford Bridge into a 19th senior campaign, firmly thrusting the onus on to the defender to determine whether he will start next season at the club.
Terry and his agent, Paul Nicholls, had gone into talks with the director, Marina Granovskaia, and the chairman, Bruce Buck, on Wednesday fully expecting to be told he would not be retained beyond the expiry of his current contract on 30 June. Instead, and much to their surprise, he was offered another 12-month deal, the terms of which have not been made public, and the opportunity to make clear his intentions before Sunday’s final Premier League game against the newly crowned champions, Leicester City.
