Chelsea Legend Ready To Join Premier League Rivals At The End Of The Season
Mar 10, 2017 at 2:36 PM
Antonio Conte’s Chelsea look like an unstoppable machine at the moment as they managed to take three more points from their game against West Ham in the previous round.
They have cemented a place at the top of the points table and are on their way to the first Premier League title under the Italian.
The Blues have all but qualified for the Champions League next season and Antonio Conte is already busy trying to build on his current squad, to help them compete with the best next season.
This has seen him linked with a number of star players recently but Conte is also looking to let a few players leave in the summer to free up some space in the squad and reduce the wage burden on the club.
One such player who could be out of the Bridge come the end of the season is skipper, John Terry.
Arguably one of the best defenders to have even played in the Premier League, John Terry is still the captain of the Blues and will lift the PL trophy if Chelsea manage to stay at the top but it is understood that Conte is not ready to offer him a contract extension.
According to reports from the Times, Antonio Conte is determined to revamp his defense next season and wants to spend big on one top class center back at the end of the season.

He is also reportedly looking to integrate Andreas Christensen into the first team after his two-year loan spell at the Bundesliga.
This will leave Terry with little chance of first team football at the club and having made only 10 appearances for the club this season, including just the 5 PL appearances, the English defender could well choose to quit the club next season.
Conte is not planning to give Terry a contract extension but the reports claim that Chelsea could be interested in offering him a coaching job.
But it is understood that the 36-year old wants to play in the top flight in England for at least another year and could be up for grabs in the summer for free.
The likes of West Bromwich Albion, Stoke City, and AFC Bournemouth were all interested in his signature in January but the report from the Times suggest that Terry is now open to a move to Premier League rivals this summer.
The report also reveals that the Potters are currently the top favorites to steal his signature but do you think Chelsea will let Terry join Premier League rivals?
