Chelsea have left the door open for John Terry to stay at Stamford Bridge after the central defender announced that he is leaving when his contract expires at the end of the season. The Premier League champions said he could be offered the chance to stay at Stamford Bridge following a meeting with the club last month. "In that meeting he asked about the possibility of an extension to his existing contract," Chelsea said in a statement. "John was advised that while no new deal was currently on the table, that situation could change in the coming months." Chelsea said they had the utmost respect for Terry and everything he has helped them achieve, describing him as a "fantastic servant and superb captain".
