Why John Terry agreed Chelsea contract extension

– John Terry took a £90,000-a-week pay cut to
stay at Chelsea for one more year

Conte that he is not an automatic starter

– The 35 year old signed a new contract after
discussions with Conte and club board

A report has revealed how John Terry took a pay
cut of £90,000-a-week to sign his latest contract
extension with the club.


John Terry has signed a new deal with Chelsea

According to the Daily Mail UK, Terry was earning
£140,000 but he took a huge pay cut which now
reduces his wages to ‘just’ £50,000.

That translates to a loss of almost £5m a year for
the former England man, who is said to have
turned down lucrative moves to China to extend
his stay at Stamford Bridge.

The new deal is said to have a number of
performance and appearance based clauses in it,
but Terry has been warned that incoming
manager Antonio Conte does not see him as an
automatic starter at centre-back.

Gary Cahill and a fit-again Kurt Zouma are
expected to be first choice centre-back pairing
with Terry expected to aid their developments.
