Chelsea legend set to be offered mega £8m-a-year deal in China

Chelsea captain John Terry is reportedly set to be offered at least £8m-a-year to play for Guangzhou Evergrande, according to the Daily Mail.

The 35-year-old, who is an ambassador for the Chinese Super League outfit, is out of contract with The Blues next summer.

Terry, who earned 78 international caps for England between 2003 and 2012, has made six appearances in all competitions for the Premier League side so far this season.

The report suggests Guangzhou Evergrande are determined to land the centre-half when his spell at Stamford Bridge finally comes to an end, with the side currently being managed by ex-Blues boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Legend Terry, who has scored 63 goals in 677 games in all competitions for Chelsea since 1998, can expect a deal of £8m-per-season if he wishes to try his luck with the Chinese club.

Plus, his first-team chances under Blues boss Antonio Conte maybe severely restricted this term given the starring role of David Luiz, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta in the Italian’s successful switch to a three-at-the-back system.
