Mourinho wants Terry to sign a new Blues deal and remain at Stamford Bridge
Jose Mourinho is confident John Terry will sign a new deal to finish his career at Chelsea.
Asked about the 33-year-old skipper’s contract, which expires in June, he said: ‘The manager wants him to stay; the club know I want him to stay, the club want him to stay, he wants to stay, so normally he is staying.’
Chelsea are thought to have offered a one-year extension on reduced wages, but Terry wants more.
